The TPO is the agency responsible for transportation planning in the Ocala/Marion County area. Comprised of local elected officials from Marion County and the cities of Ocala, Belleview and Dunnellon, the TPO's planning responsibilities include highways and transit as well as bicycling and pedestrian facilities. The TPO works with the Florida Department of Transportation and local governments to fund and implement projects identified through various plans developed by the TPO. The TPO is also the policy board for SunTran, the local fixed-route transit system.
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 - Marion County Projects
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provided local governments the unique opportunity of stimulating the economy by putting people to work while accomplishing some much-needed - and in some cases, long awaited - infrastructure projects. In Marion County, eight local construction projects were approved for funding in the stimulus bill. In addition, the Florida Department of Transportation selected a Marion County project, SR 35, for state stimulus funding, and an enhancement project for sidewalks was also approved.
For more information on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, go to www.recovery.gov. Additional information regarding Florida transportation projects can be found at www.dot.state.fl.us.
