Regional Surface Transportation Program
The Regional Surface Transportation Program was established by the State of California to utilize federal Surface Transportation Program funds for a wide variety of transportation projects. The State allows the Transportation Agency to exchange these federal funds for state funds to maximize the ability of local public works departments to use the funds on a wide variety of projects including bicyle and pedestrian projects, local roads, and transit. The Transportation Agency for Monterey County has the responsibility for distributing these exchanged funds to the local jurisdictions. The exchanged funds are distributed on a fair share and competitive basis. Annual apportionments of Regional Surface Transportation Program funds range from $3 to $4 million. The next Competitive Grants call for projects is Spring 2026.
