  • FY 2013 Annual Transportation Project Listing for the Jefferson-Orange-Hardin Regional Transportation Study (JOHRTS) Area October 1, 2012 – September 30, 2013

    Prepared in cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, and Federal Transit Administration.

    Prepared by the South East Texas Regional Planning Commission-Metropolitan Planning Organization (SETRPC-MPO) December 6, 2013

  • The South East Texas Regional Planning Commission (SETRPC) was designated as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Jefferson, Orange, and Hardin Counties by the Governor of Texas in 1974. The SETRPC-MPO provides a decision-making forum for southeast Texas that is responsible for conducting a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive transportation planning process. The main purpose of the SETRPC-MPO is to develop and maintain all transportation plans for the Jefferson Orange Hardin Regional Transportation Study (JOHRTS) area. The SETRPC-MPO’s short-range transportation plan is the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which presents the various highway and transit projects and/or programs that are expected to be implemented or let for construction within the four-year period of the TIP. All regional transportation projects and programs are required to be identified and prioritized in the TIP to be eligible for federal funding through the Federal Highway Administration or the Federal Transit Administration. Project schedules often change for a variety of factors; therefore, the TIP may not always yield an up-to-date picture of actual project expenditures. This report provides the list of federally funded transportation projects and programs that were let in federal fiscal year 2013 (FY 2013), the period of October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013. This report complies with 23 CFR §450.332 “Annual Listing of Obligated Projects” and was prepared cooperatively by the South East Texas Regional Planning Commission – Metropolitan Planning Organization (SETRPC-MPO) for the JOHRTS area and the Texas Department of Transportation – Beaumont District. This report is available at www.setrpc.org/ter by selecting “Transportation” from the top menu, then selecting “Transportation Improvement Program” from the left hand menu. Descriptions are provided below for certain table fields in the lists. Each project and program is described by the following information: • Project ID is a unique reference number specified by the SETRPC-MPO to track

    projects and programs. • CSJ (Control-Section-Job) Number is a unique reference number specified by

    TxDOT for tracking projects • Project Name, County Name, the From and To limits, and Project Work Type • Total Cost of the project (and Federal, State, and Local Cost shares and Local

    Contributions) • Let Date (year when a project or program funds were made available) • Estimated Completion Date (year when the project or program is operational) • Projects and programs are classified by a Funding Category (shown in Appendix A

    Attached)
