To ensure continued investment in Central Ohio’s transit infrastructure, the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) is amending the State Fiscal Year 2024-2027 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to reflect changes to the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA’s) Section 5307 Program of Projects.
The FTA’s Program of Projects is a list of projects proposed by transit agencies or other recipients for Section 5307 funding, which allocates funding to transit agencies for capital, planning and operating expenses.
“Funding for Central Ohio Transit Authority and Delaware County Transit are included in the TIP because they operate entirely within the MORPC transportation planning area."
The planning area includes Delaware and Franklin counties; Bloom and Violet townships in Fairfield County; New Albany, Pataskala, and Etna Township in Licking County; and Jerome Township in Union County.
The Section 5307 funding for the following project has changed and will be reflected on the March 2025 TIP amendment.
Project | TIP ID | ODOT PID | Change |
COTA Preventative Maintenance 2024-2027 | 449 | 120543 | Adding $7,729,763 of §5307 funding in SFY 2025 |
“Because public input plays a crucial role in shaping Central Ohio’s transportation future, we encourage residents, commuters and stakeholders to review the proposed updates and share their feedback. Public comments are an important element to be considered before the amendment is adopted.”

Comments on the proposed changes can be submitted by email to tip@morpc.org or in writing to MORPC, 111 Liberty Street, Suite 100, Columbus, Ohio 43215, Attn: Maria Schaper, by 5 p.m., Wednesday, March 12, 2025.
