FUNDING AVAILABILITY
FROM PROJECT PURPOSE & NEED
Comply with Fiscal Constraint Objectives Improve efficiency with lower O&M Costs
FUTURE FUNDING HAS YET TO BE FULLY IDENTIFIED

MAP-21 in effect through FY 2014
In making funding projections for the 2040 Metropolitan Transportation Plan, the RPC assumed that there would be very few, if any, new funding sources available. The program identified, therefore, is limited to what could reasonably be funded given historic funding levels from federal, state, and local sources.
