To learn more about the TRAC please visit their web site at: http://www.dot.state.oh.us/trac/Pages/Default.aspx. Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) such as MVRPC have several responsibilities to fulfill for a project to be considered by the TRAC. The TRAC can only fund projects that are included or consistent with the MPO’s Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The TRAC also takes into consideration regional and local priorities by requesting MPOs to submit project priority lists. In addition, all projects need to be approved, reviewed, or commented on by the appropriate MPO. In an effort to provide the TRAC a project priority list, the MVRPC Board adopted its Policies and Procedures for Considering Major New Capacity Projects (available at www.mvrpc.org) and MVRPC staff is working on completing its review and evaluation of three CY2021 TRAC projects submitted this year in accordance with the Policy.
