American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Update (April 20, 2010)

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 provided $39.5 million of transportation stimulus funding to the Indianapolis MPO, allowing for an increased ability to maintain roads, repair bridges, and build new transportation projects, including bicycle and pedestrian facilities.  In January of 2010, the final primary projects selected to receive ARRA funding were awarded to contractors meaning, in all, 59 projects had received funding.  Following their award, there was a balance of funds in the amount of $8.5 million due to bids that were lower than original cost estimates.  The remaining balance was used to fund the secondary list of "reserve" projects that had been compiled for use in the event of such an occurrence.  By March, an additional 33 projects were awarded to contractors.  As a result, all of the ARRA funds made available to the Indianapolis MPO have been obligated.
