This project was on a prioritized contingency list of projects that are eligible to receive additional funding that becomes available before the next selection process. Funding recently became available through PSRC's project tracking program, and your project was next on the list to receive these funds. PSRC's project selection process is rigorous and helps identify the highest priority projects that will improve local and regional mobility and help achieve our long -range regional transportation plan, Transportation 2040. Final approval by the Governor and federal funding agencies is expected in early 2014. Thank you for your leadership and for the excellent work by your staff to help the region achieve a better transportation system that gets people and goods where they need to go, provides transportation choices, and helps support a strong economy in the region. We look forward to continuing to partner with you in the future.
