FY19 Work Program and Budget

January 16, 2019 – The Mid-MO RPC region came away with two TAP grant recipients this cycle. The City of Pilot Grove received funding for a sidewalk that will connect Pilot Grove School to St. Joseph’s Catholic School, giving both schools access to a current MoDOT sidewalk project along College Street/Highway 135.

Also receiving funding is City of Fayette for their sidewalk project along Church Street/Highway 240 that will safely connect the center of town and students at Central Methodist University to essential shopping venues.

Within the Mid-MO RPC region are also our two Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) who both came away with project funding of their own. The City of Columbia received funding in the CATSO region for a sidewalk project along Leslie Lane that will bring much needed connectivity to public facilities in that area.

January 14, 2019 – The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has awarded $80,776 in grant funding to the Mid-Missouri Regional Planning Commission to help further develop plans for the newly formed Callaway County Sewer District. Grant funding will be used to fund a feasibility study that will identify the optimal location to construct the district’s first centralized wastewater system. Funding will also be used to plan for a clear path for the sewer district administratively and financially.

Feasibility study contributing partners include the Callaway County Commission and the Callaway County Health Department. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency – Region 7 has provided funding for this project under Section 604b of the Clean Water Act, and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources will administer the grant funds.

Review and Comment Period

The final draft of the updated Coordinated Public Transit Human Service Plan is available. This plan assesses current public transportation needs and options for the region. To view the document see Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan 2018.

Public review and comment is open now. A vote finalizing adoption of the plan will take place at the next Board of Director’s meeting in January.

December 3, 2018 – The November 28^th TAC meeting had good turnout. This round of Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) applications are in and it was time to decide who would be put forward as a priority for the Mid-MO region for funding. There were three applications for our region. Fayette, Fulton, and Pilot Grove all submitted projects for consideration. Representatives for each project were invited to give presentations at the meeting and to answer any questions those scoring might have about the projects.
