MORPC Amends 2021-2024 Transportation Improvement Program to Reflect COTA Changes

Comments due Wednesday, March 2, 2022

The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) is amending the State Fiscal Year 2021-2024 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to include changes to Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA’s) Section 5307 Program of Projects.

FTA’s Program of Projects is a list of projects proposed by transit agencies or other recipients for Section 5307 funding.

“Funding for Central Ohio Transit Authority and Delaware County Transit are always included in the TIP, because they operate entirely within the MORPC transportation planning area."

The planning area includes: Delaware and Franklin counties; Bloom and Violet townships in Fairfield County; New Albany, Pataskala and Etna Township in Licking County; and Jerome Township in Union County.

The Section 5307 funding for the following projects has changed. These changes will be reflected on the March 2021 TIP amendment.
