The Locally Administered Projects Program (LAPP) was adopted by the Greater Hickory Metropolitan Planning Organization (GHMPO) to prioritize and program local transportation projects in the region that utilize federal transportation funding. This process will involve a regular call for projects, and will result in new projects added to the GHMPO’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

As a Transportation Management Area (TMA), the GHMPO receives a direct allocation of approximately $3,335,000 in Surface Transportation Block Grant Direct Attributable (STBG-DA) funding annually.
