Update
Project Delivery
Federally funded projects have specific requirements. By complying with MTC’s Regional Project Delivery Policy, MTC can help secure even more transportation dollars for the Bay Area.

After a project has secured all of its necessary funding, the final step in constructing or implementing a transportation project is project delivery.
Federally-funded transportation projects carry with them a set of specific regulations and required procedures.
By meeting state-mandated delivery deadlines and targeted amounts, the Bay Area is eligible to receive even more transportation dollars from other regions throughout the state that are unable to deliver their projects.
Read
MTC Resolution No. 3606
for details about project delivery requirements, including deadlines and amounts.
Project Delivery Policy
Key elements of MTC’s Regional Project Delivery Policy include:
Obligation requests must be submitted to Caltrans by November 1 of the year the funds are programmed in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
Funds must be obligated by January 31 of the year the funds are programmed in the TIP
Once obligated, the project sponsor must submit invoice reimbursements at least once every six months
For funds contracted out, a contract must be awarded within 6 months of obligation
Projects that fail to meet these deadlines are subject to deprogramming by MTC. Project sponsors that do not comply with the delivery policy will be subject to limitations on programming in future years
After January 31, projects programmed in future years of the TIP may be approved for funding on a first-come, first-serve basis, depending upon the availability of funds
