• Each year PAG releases a one-page pre-application form in mid-March that outlines the project.
• Deadline for Round 16 pre-application is April 1, 2008.
• Pre-applications are screened in early April by the Transportation Enhancement Task Force (TETF) for eligibility.
• Eligible applicants work with their sponsoring jurisdiction (all applications must have a jurisdictional sponsor) to develop a full project application (applications are usually made available by the Arizona Department of Transportation in early April).
• Project applications are returned to PAG for review and ranking by the PAG TETF in early June.
• TETF reviews and ranks the project application in late June/ early July.
• Ranks are important as the region can only submit a certain number of applications (based on the total funding available statewide).
• Applicants revise their applications to address comments/concerns raised by the TETF.
• Applicants return their application to PAG in late September for submittal to ADOT.
• The ADOT Transportation Enhancement Review Committee (TERC) meets in early October to make project funding recommendations to the Arizona State Transportation Board (ASTB).
• ASTB makes funding determination at its October or December meeting.
