Recently, the voters of the State of Texas authorized, through Proposition 1, the diversion of monies from the Rainy Day fund to help pay for transportation projects. These funds were distributed by formula across the state. The Sherman-Denison MPO received a $4.45 million allocation for Fiscal Year 2015 and decided to assist TxDOT with the funding of an roadway improvement on US 82 between Frisco Road and FM 1417 east. In order to move this project forward both the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) have to amended to include this project.
