FY19 Transportation Alternatives-Set Aside (TASA) funds are now available. This funding is provided by the WMPO through NCDOT and will require a 20% match. There will be a pre-application review on December 18, 2018 for any applicant that wishes to discuss their application with the WMPO prior to submission. The submittal deadline is January 25, 2019. Please contact Amy Kimes if you have any questions.

NCDOT, in coordination with the MPOs and RPOs, is in the process of prioritizing transportation projects to update the 2020-2029 STIP. The current step is for the WMPO to assign local input points to projects in the Regional category. NCDOT will then combine the local input points with the data scores to generate total scores for each project. To learn more about the STIP process, view NCDOT’s STIP Development page or the WMPO’s page here.
