REQUESTED ACTION:
MOTION TO RECOMMEND BROWARD MPO APPROVE the Roads for Economic Vitality Program Policies and Evaluation Criteria Updates
WHAT THIS ACTION ACCOMPLISHES:
Approval of this item will amend the Roads for Economic Vitality (REV) Program Policies and Evaluation Criteria to address outstanding items regarding new directives from the Federal Administration, lessons learned from previous cycles, and an opportunity to address funding the backlog of projects.
SUMMARY EXPLANATION/BACKGROUND:
The REV Program (formerly known as CSLIP) provides funding for small, local transportation projects that improve safety and mobility for all transportation users. This competitive grant Program can fund projects such as, but not limited to: roadway enhancements, safety improvements, and technology advancements. The REV Program, along with the Policies that govern the Program, was approved by the MPO Board at their July 9, 2015 meeting and was last updated on July 13, 2023. Updates to the REV Program Evaluation Criteria were last approved on September 2, 2021.
After conducting two hybrid partner workshops in June and August of 2025 and discussing changes to the Program's Policies and Evaluation Criteria with the Technical Advisory Committee at their meeting on October 22, 2025, MPO staff is proposing updates to the Policies and Evaluation Criteria. The updates include a proposed change in the limit to the number of projects a local agency may submit each application cycle, the frequency of the application cycle, project funding minimum and maximum amounts, point deductions and bonus points, post-award scope changes, and changes to the Evaluation Criteria categories and their associated weighting. For the proposed updates to the REV Program Policies, please see Attachment 1. To view details of the proposed changes to the Program Evaluation Criteria categories, data sets, and point values, please see Attachment 2.
At the upcoming meeting, MPO staff will provide an overview of the proposed changes to the Policies and Evaluation Criteria and address any questions or comments. For the PowerPoint Presentation, please see Attachment 3.
