Appleton TMA Certification
Under federal law each metropolitan planning organization must have a Metropolitation Transportation Plan (MTP) that considers at least a 20 year time frame to be eligible for federal transportation funds. The MTP is updated every 5 years to continually have a 20+ year planning horizon.
East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (ECWRPC), the MPO-designated governing body, works with all jurisdictions, operating agencies and the public to carry out cooperative, continuing and comprehensive transportation and land use planning. The ECWRPC certifies that the planning requirements have been met, which includes a Unified Transportation Work Program, a Public Participation Plan, a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), and a Metropolitan Transportation Plan. The Appleton (Fox Cities) MPO also includes an approved Congestion Management Process, which is required for MPOs that are designated as Transportation Management Areas.
Comprehensive Safety Action Plan
Whether people are driving, biking, skating, walking, jogging, using a mobility assist device, or riding the bus, roadways should get everyone of all ages and abilities where they need to go. The communities within the Appleton (Fox Cities) and Oshkosh Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) constantly work to make roadways safer for all road users.
Established as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary program funds regional, local, and Tribal initiatives through grants to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries.
The ECWRPC Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) fulfills the Action Plan requirements set forth by the SS4A Program, making the Appleton (Fox Cities) MPO, Oshkosh MPO, and the municipalities within these two MPOs, eligible to apply for SS4A Demonstration and/or Implementation Grants.
