CAMPO updates policy on how it doles out federal transportation credits for local projects

The region’s transportation planning organization has updated its policy on how it allocates federal transportation credits toward Central Texas projects. The federal government created transportation development credits as a flexible funding tool. Credits are created as the region spends funds from toll revenues on other transportation projects, said Ashby Johnson, executive director of the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization at the agency’s Monday night policy board meeting. CAMPO’s goals under the new policy include advancing regionally significant projects and prioritizing those located in disadvantaged communities that have higher percentages of minority and senior populations, according to the policy.
