Is transportation funding lost or are projects only delayed?

0

In general, transportation projects will not lose funding (the exception would be if a project is nearing the end of an obligation deadline, and the deadline is missed). Project delays of a few weeks are unlikely to increase project costs, but delays of several months could, particularly if the conformity lapse causes a project to miss the summer construction window. While MTC keeps a list of projects most likely to be affected by a short delay (see Attachment 2 from Executive Director’s January 18, 2002 memorandum), more detailed information on the effects of the lapse is best provided by the individual project sponsors. An extended conformity lapse could further add to the negative effects of the current downturn on the Bay Area’s economy.
