Member Designated Projects

Background

In February 2021, the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee (T&I) in the House of Representatives announced plans to release a transportation authorization legislation. In this new authorization, the Committee provided Members of Congress the opportunity to place requests for highway and transit project designations, otherwise known as Member Designated Projects (MDP).

Per the T&I Committee transparency and accountability rules, Congressman Trone is required to disclose all submitted MDP requests. The list of projects that were requested by Congressman Trone is below. Please note that projects categorized by county and listed in alphabetical order. This list is not displayed in any priority order.
