MPO Active Transportation Advisory Committee Meeting - July 21, 2026

The Doña Ana County MPO Active Transportation Advisory Committee met on July 21, 2026, to discuss amendments to the fiscal year 2029 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and prioritize road safety audit (RSA) project proposals. The committee approved amendments including an $87,262 federal funding allocation for the South Central Regional Transit District and a $45 million project for lane, shoulder, and roadside barrier upgrades funded by the National Highway Performance Program and local road funds. The committee reviewed crash data for nine proposed RSA locations, focusing on bicycle and pedestrian safety, and discussed narrowing the list to three or four priority projects for further analysis and action at the next meeting. Traffic count data and crash concentration details will be incorporated to better inform decision-making. Additionally, the committee addressed concerns about mini motorcycles on multi-use trails and public perceptions of government maintenance efforts. No final votes were taken on RSA project prioritization, as it was a discussion item to guide future action.
