Frequently Asked Questions

The 2020 KTMPO CFP will be open from October 1 through November 13. All projects must be submitted to KTMPO by 12:00 P.M. on Friday, November 13. Any projects submitted after the deadline will not be included in the rescoring process. KTMPO encourages early submission of projects so staff can process applications in a timely manner for consultant scoring.

All projects currently existing in the MTP outside of the FY21-24 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) will need to be resubmitted in order to be included in the MTP following this Project Call. Any project that is not resubmitted within the Project Call period will be removed from the MTP.

Projects that were previously submitted may use the same information from their original submittal packet but will need to resubmit with a fresh packet. KTMPO staff does recommend that all project narratives be revised to reflect the updated project scoring packet, so that your project can potentially score higher.

The current match rates for Categories 2, 7, and 9 are as listed:

The 2045 MTP contains the most recent financial constraint numbers for short and long range funding at this time. TxDOT’s 2021 UTP will also guide the selection of short range projects for the short range planning horizon.

According to the 2021 UTP, the estimated short range funding for KTMPO over the next 10 years (through FY2030) is $254,490,702 in Category 2, 7, and 9 dollars. The MTP estimates approximately $49 million in short range funding and $405 million in long range funding.
