APA, ACT, AMPO, NACTO, NADO & NARC Defend Metropolitan Planning Funds
NARC recently asked the Federal Highway Administration to reconsider its decision to rescind money from metropolitan planning. Given the legal requirements tied to metropolitan planning, NARC feels, along with this letters’ partnering organizations, reducing the ability of our regions to effectively plan and deliver job-producing transportation infrastructure projects will impact not only the local government which MPOs serve, but also open MPOs up to legal challenges on the effectiveness of their process.
In light of the fiscal challenges faced by local governments, as well as their responsibility to implement projects funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, NARC and its sister organizations recommend to FHWA that they reconsider the decision to rescind metropolitan planning funds.
