The Quad Cities Transportation Policy Committee awarded $3,067,906 of Transportation Alternatives Set Aside (TASA) funds in the Quad Cities. These projects will be implemented in the next five years. Bi-State Regional Commission delegates the transportation programming authority to the Transportation Policy Committee to solicit applications and award funds in the Illinois-Iowa Quad Cities.

One of these funds is TASA. These funds are typically awarded to bicycle and pedestrian projects that improve mobility options. Governmental jurisdictions in the MPO are eligible to apply for TASA. Eligible projects include trail facilities; safety features and infrastructure for bicyclists and pedestrians; turnouts, overlooks, and scenic viewing areas; historic transportation facility preservation; and certain archeological and stormwater management tied to highway construction.

  • Moline: $757,285 for Phase II of the Morgan Park Trail (7th Street to 10th Stree Place).
