MPO Board Meeting Walk-On Item Added to Approve Transportation Regional Incentive Program Priorities for 2025
At the June 13, 2025, MPO Board meeting, a walk-on item will be added to the agenda as item 9.F. to request the Board’s approval of the Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) Priorities for 2025.
The Board reviewed the 2025 TRIP Priorities list at their May 9, 2025, meeting, which includes a submission for TRIP funding by Collier County for one new project and one updated project in coordination with Lee County MPO, and a Lee County submission for one project.
TRIP is a discretionary grant program that provides State matching funds (up to 50% of total project cost) for improvements identified and prioritized by regional partners which meet certain criteria.
Changes from the 2024 TRIP list include two Collier projects and one Lee project, all for FY31 funding:
- Collier-Santa Barbara/Logan Blvd widening from 4 to 6 lanes from Painted Leaf Lane to Pine Ridge Road, including adding bike lanes and sidewalk improvements – requesting $3.1 million for design. This project was on last year’s list for FY2024/25.
- Collier-Pine Ridge Road widening from 4 to 6 lanes from Logan Blvd to Collier Blvd. Requesting $2.9 million for preliminary engineering, to include bike/ped improvements to fill-in the current gap in facilities. This is a new project addition.
- Lee-Ortiz Ave widening from 2 to 4 lanes from SR 82 to Luckett Road. Requesting $8 million for construction. This project was on last year’s list for FY2024/25.
The Technical and Citizens Advisory Committees voted to endorse the 2025 TRIP Priorities list at their April 28, 2025, meetings.
