What to do with OUR share of the STP Pie?

That is correct – the Surface Transportation Program committee has decided to GIVE the 3PC the authority to directly program $800,000 in STP group 1 funding over the next two years for bike and pedestrian-related projects…ONLY! This money is to be used for projects in Lake and Porter County, and the 3PC will need to decide what projects are to be allowed for consideration. This cycle will commence with the TAP program…
