  • Competitive Programs
    DVRPC FY2017 TIP FOR PENNSYLVANIA CHAPTER 7: COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS This section contains lists of projects that have been awarded via regional or statewide competitive programs, which are open to a specialized segment of the public. As projects move through the delivery pipeline, they may or may not show up in the active TIP project listings, but are important to the DVRPC region for demonstrating investments in particular types of infrastructure and potential fund sources. REGIONAL COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS Competitive Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program – DVRPC periodically sets aside a specific amount of CMAQ funds for a DVRPC Competitive CMAQ Program (see MPMS #48201), which seeks transportation-related projects that can help the region reduce emissions from mobile sources and meet the National Clean Air Act Standards. CMAQ-eligible projects will demonstrably reduce air pollution emissions and, in many cases, reduce traffic congestion. Projects may be submitted by a public agency or a public-private partnership. A Subcommittee of the DVRPC Regional Technical Committee (RTC) evaluates the projects and makes recommendations to the DVRPC Board for final selection. In July 2016, the DVRPC Board approved the most recent round of the DVRPC Competitive CMAQ Program by selecting 17 projects for funding in the DVRPC Pennsylvania counties, for a total CMAQ award of $21,900,000. For more information, see www.dvrpc.org/CMAQ/ Regional Trails Program (Phases 1-4) – The Regional Trails Program, administered by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, with funding from the William Penn Foundation, aims to capitalize upon opportunities for trail development by providing funding for targeted, priority trail design, construction, and planning projects that will promote a truly connected, regional network of multiuse trails with Philadelphia and Camden as its hub.
