Transportation Alternatives Program Committee (TAP-C)
BackEach year, the MAPA region receives approximately $1 million in Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) funding from the Nebraska Department of Roads and the Iowa Department of Transportation. TAP funding can be used to fund a variety of projects including bicycle facilities, pedestrian improvements, and Safe Routes to School activities. MAPA’s Transportation Alternatives Program Committee (TAP-C) meets regularly to discuss the process for making awards and reviewing project applications.
TAP-C also serves to advise TTAC, committee members, and associated stakeholders on transportation activitie in the MAPA region, related plans, programs, policies, and procedures for non-single occupancy vehicle (SOV) modes. Specific programs for which the TAP-C may provide input include, but are not limited to, TAP (as outlined above), the Carbon Reduction Program (CRP), and the Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) program.
TAP-C is an 18- member stakeholder committee of the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee (TTAC) which includes planners, engineers, advocates, and other staff from local and state jurisdictions.
