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. -

Liberty Bell Trail – Planning and Feasibility Study
Liberty Bell Trail – Planning and Feasibility Study Introduction to Current Study: Eight municipalities in Montgomery County are collaborating with the PA Environmental Council and consulting firm, Michael Baker International, to advance the planning of the Liberty Bell Trail (LBT). Those municipalities include Upper Gwynedd Township, North Wales Borough, Lansdale Borough, Hatfield Township, Hatfield Borough, Franconia Township, Souderton Borough and Telford Borough. A prior LBT Feasibility Study completed in 2005 investigated the potential development of the former 25-mile Liberty Bell Trolley route between Norristown to Quakertown into a shared use path network for walking and bicycling. This feasibility study will provide an update to the 11-mile portion of the LBT in Montgomery County. In the last 16 years, some progress has been made towards its completion including construction of approximately 1.5 miles in Lansdale Borough and another 0.5 mile in Hatfield Borough. As part of this trail update, we will investigate changes that have occurred along the planned trail route, explore alternatives, and make recommendations for a preferred trail route. These technical tasks will be supported by a robust public outreach program using numerous virtual and traditional outreach techniques. The study is anticipated to be completed by early 2022. This excerpt of Montgomery County’s 2015 trail map shows trails in and around the study area. Number 5 is Liberty Bell Trail; 16 is 202 Parkway. (In Lansdale, an outdated future alignment of LBT is shown.) mbakerintl.com Liberty Bell Trail History: The LBT corridor has been nearly 250 years in the making. The path was first tread by a few brave colonists just before the British Army invaded Philadelphia, who carried the Liberty Bell out of Philadelphia to safety in Allentown, Pennsylvania. -
