The ATP has a sequential selection process split between a statewide competition followed by regional competitions, each with its own funds. Projects that are unsuccessful in the statewide ATP can then compete for funding in the Regional ATP. Regional ATP evaluation criteria include deliverability measures to emphasize the importance of keeping funds in our region.
Projects for ATP Regional funds will be evaluated by using the 2027 ATP Regional Guidelines.
Projected approximate amount available funding of $1.2 Million.
