FY 2024 Annual Listing of Obligated Projects
Johnson City MTPO publishes the Annual Listing of Obligated Projects for the area
Each year, the Johnson City MTPO publishes a listing of federal funds that were obligated during the previous 12 months. What does “obligated” mean? When federal transportation funds are “obligated,” it means the federal government has made a legal commitment to pay a specific amount for a transportation project, essentially reserving those funds for that project, even if the actual cash disbursement hasn’t happened yet; it signifies that the project has been approved and the federal government is legally bound to provide the allocated funds once the project progresses to eligible expenditure stages.
The listing covers the time period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, which is the federal fiscal year. Within the Johnson City Urbanized Area, there were seven projects funded by the Federal Highway Administration and three projects funded by the Federal Transit Administration. They are:
