• Abstract:
  To obtain state and federal funding for proposed transportation projects in metropolitan areas, local governments submit project proposals to their Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) during the early stages of project planning. The purpose of this guidebook is to help local governments enhance the quality and accuracy of their project proposals. This will in turn facilitate the project review process by MPOs. Improving the accuracy and quality of project proposals will help to ensure a streamlined approval process, and will ultimately assist in providing a better transportation network to the public. Chapters include: Project scoping, Cost estimation, and Project timelines.
