Local Agency Project (LAP) Program Administered by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
SUMMARY EXPLANATION/BACKGROUND:
The Federal highway system consists primarily of highways owned and operated by FDOT such as expressways and major arterials (such as Broward Blvd., Commercial Blvd, US-1, etc.). Certain local roads owned by counties and municipalities are also part of the Federal highway system. These local roads that are part of the Federal highway system are eligible for Federal grant funds. The Federal grant funds are normally requested by the Broward MPO and included in the FDOT Five-Year Work Program.
FDOT may agree through the LAP program to “delegate” the implementation of the Federal grant normally for design/engineering and construction to the local government/governments (when it crosses government boundaries) through a “certification process.” FDOT is responsible under Federal law for ensuring the Federal grant funds are implemented in accordance with Federal requirements and provides oversight through the LAP program.
