DOVER KENT MPO ANNOUNCES SPECIAL MEETING

A “special” D/KC MPO Public Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting scheduled tentatively for Monday, July 6, at 6:00 pm to discuss one action item to amend the FY21 UPWP and PL Agreement.  

Specifically, the D/KC MPO has four transportation planning studies, which began in FY20 (July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020) and which will need to continue into FY21 (which begins on July 1, 2020).  The funding for these four transportation studies must be formally “rolled over” from FY20 into FY21, and we need to amend our FY21 UPWP and PL Agreement to account for these four studies.  After the July 6 PAC meeting, the action item will be discussed during a special Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting the next day on July 7 before being heard during the regularly scheduled D/KC MPO Council on July 8.  Meeting agendas and proposed text changes to the FY21 UPWP and PL Agreement will post on the website before these special meetings.  

The Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization is a Federally mandated not-for-profit that works with local, state and federal governments along with local transportation organizations to ensure that transportation planning and projects are done in compliance with Federal mandates to include the Federal Clean Air Act and the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST).
