Project Application

Interested sponsors for Transportation Enhancement (TE) funding are required to fill out a project application.

The Round 16 applications are now available. Interested sponsors can download the Round 16 Project Application and the Round 16 Cost Estimate Form. Sponsors will be required to fill out and submit both Application and Cost Estimate Form to their respective MPO/COG to be considered for TE funding.

In addition, interested sponsors for future TE projects are encouraged to visit the web page Evaluation Criteria to learn the criteria involved in the rating of project applications.

Upon preparing the application, the applicant must work with their local Metropolitan Planning Organization/Council of Governments (MPO/COG). Project information must include a complete budget that includes all necessary work such as earthwork, drainage modifications, retaining walls, or hazardous materials abatement.

Each MPO/COG has their own due date for the applications, which are during the summer months. ADOT requires all MPOs/COGs to submit applications in early September.

The Transportation Enhancement Review Committee (TERC) will review the applications in October, and recommend which projects are to be awarded for funding to the State Transportation Board. The State Transportation Board will act on the TERC recommendations, and make the official awards when they meet in November or December. Award letters are expected to go out in January the following year.
