Jobs for Main Street Act of 2010
At the request of both ODOT FHWA Division and ODOT Central; on Thursday, January 7, 2010, the MVRPC Board of Directors authorized staff to solicit for new transportation projects in anticipation of passage of "Jobs for Main Street Act of 2010".
Due to the Bill's projected short implementation timeframe for projects, it is anticipated that only projects exempt from the environmental and transportation conformity process will be eligible for funds. Examples of simple projects include road resurfacing, sign replacements, and signal head replacement projects. Further, the proposed bill currently states that 50% of the funds must be “under contract” in 90 days, therefore MVRPC staff will give priority to such projects when selecting projects for funding.
Once submitted, applications for proposed new projects will be reviewed and evaluated for possible inclusion in the SFY 2008- SFY 2011 TIP.
