Missouri Moves Cost Share Program Funding Now Available
Application Period 6/15/2016 through 7/29/2016.
The Missouri Department of Transportation is seeking projects that could be funded with the Missouri Moves Cost Share Program. The purpose of the Missouri Moves Cost Share Program is to build partnerships with local entities to pool efforts and resources to deliver transportation projects. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) funds this program with General Revenue appropriations from the General Assembly.
The Missouri Moves Cost Share Program provides financial assistance to public and private applicants for state and local projects satisfying a transportation need. Eligible projects include roads, bridges, bicycle/pedestrian accommodations and multimodal facilities. A total of $20 million is available. MoDOT participates up to 50 percent of the total project costs.
For the first time, multi-modal projects are eligible under this pot of funding. The Missouri Public Transit Association advocated for this change during the 2016 legislative sessin. One-third of the funds are set aside for multimodal and bicycle/pedestrian projects. Up to 25 percent of the funds may be distributed to projects in any one MoDOT district.
Projects are selected by the Cost Share/Economic Development Committee, which consists of the Chief Engineer, Chief Financial Officer and the Assistant Chief Engineer. They are then recommended for Commission approval via a STIP amendment.
Missouri Moves Cost Share Program guidelines, application, and rating matrix are available on MoDOT’s website at http://www.modot.org/missourimoves/. Applications are due July 29, 2016.
