Category 2, Category 4 and Category 12 projects that are already in the UTP

– In the November 2018 – January 2019 timeframe the region scored, ranked and took action on recommended new projects for the FY 2020 UTP – This request is to score, rank and take action on projects in the UTP

  • These are all existing projects that are already in the MPO’s

Transportation Improvement Program and/or Metropolitan Transportation Plan and are part of our transportation conformity determination. There are no new projects being brought forward with this exercise.
