AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT • TIP CONTACTS
On February 17, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, a $789 billion economic stimulus package intended to create jobs that rehabilitate the nation’s infrastructure. A portion of the bill focuses on the multimodal transportation system.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is expected to receive over $700 million in transportation funding for projects across the state.

The Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) has started the process of determining which transportation projects in the Boston region will be funded with the area’s share of the ARRA monies. The first set of projects identified for funding was included in the MPO’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) through Amendment Two to the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2009 Element of the FFYs 2007–2010 TIP on February 26, 2009. The second set of projects identified for funding was included through Amendment One and Two to the FFY 2010 Element of the FFYs 2010-2013 TIP on November 19, 2009. and January 7, 2010, respectively.
