The Missouri Department of Transportation Central District has funding available for projects that enhance Missouri’s transportation system. Local nonprofit and government agencies in mid-Missouri have until Nov. 5 to apply for the funding.

The federal funds are designated for community-based projects that enhance the transportation experience by improving cultural, historic, aesthetic, and environmental aspects of transportation infrastructure.

“Eligible projects can include bicycle and pedestrian facilities, streetscape improvements or other projects that improve the community’s transportation experience,” said MoDOT Transportation Planning Specialist Dion Knipp. “These funds cannot be used for highway construction.”

MoDOT’s Central District includes 18 counties in the mid-Missouri region. Additional details about eligible projects can be found on www.enhancements.org.  Approximately $3.1 million is available to communities.

To obtain an application or for more information, contact the MoDOT Customer Service Center toll free at 888-ASK-MoDOT (275-6636) or log onto www.modot.org/central.
