ABOUT THE JONESBORO METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION The Jonesboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is a transportation-planning body composed of locally-elected officials and representatives from state and local transportation agencies. The mission of the Jonesboro MPO is to prepare consensus-driven, fiscallyconstrained plans for the development of a safe and efficient regional transportation system. The planning area overseen by the Jonesboro MPO is illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 1. Jonesboro Metropolitan Planning Area PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT This report identifies each project in the Jonesboro Metropolitan Planning Area for which Federal funds were obligated between October 1, 2012, and September 30, 2013. Obligation of funds reflects the Federal government s commitment to pay or reimburse the State of Arkansas or local entities for the Federal share of a project s eligible costs. Obligation of funds does not necessarily imply that work on a project began in the year of obligation. Additionally, the amount of Federal funds obligated may not be equal to the total cost of a project, which may also include commitments from the State of Arkansas or local entities. 1
This report is being published pursuant to 23 USC 134, 49 USC 5304, 23 CFR 450 and 49 CFR 613, which require the preparation of an annual list of projects for which Federal funds were obligated in the previous fiscal year. The list of FHWA obligated projects includes highway projects described by location, phase and the amount of Federal funds obligated; and the list of FTA obligated projects includes transit projects described by recipient, the type of assistance received and the amount of Federal funds obligated.
