Local Partnership Program (LPP) – Formulaic | Caltrans Federal and State Programs Local Partnership Program (LPP) – Formulaic Local Partnership Program (LPP) – Formulaic The Local Partnership Program Formulaic (LPP-F) funds are programmed by the California Transportation Commission (CTC) and administered by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

CTC Local Partnership Formulaic Local Partnership Formulaic Program Guidelines CTC Adopted 2018-2024 Formulaic Program Projects (PDF) - January 30, 2026 CTC SB1 Accountability and Transparency Guidelines The California State Multi‑Modal Accountability and Reporting Tool (CalSMART) was created in support of Senate Bill (SB1). Through CalSMART, Caltrans’ partners apply for SB1 funding and report expenditures and outcomes.
CalSMART reporting tool exemplifies Caltrans’ and the California State Transportation Agency’s commitment to transparency and accountability. Agencies must first enter their request in CalSMART by completing the Programming Electronic Project Programming Request (ePPR) and then submit it to the CTC.
The ePPR is usually prepared by the project sponsor or Agency with assistance from the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA), Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), Caltrans District Office (DO) or Headquarters (HQ) as appropriate. See the Appendix A of the Local Partnership Formulaic Program Guidelines for Project Nomination procedures.
Once the funds are programmed, the Agency must work with the District Local Assistance Engineer (DLAE) to request an allocation. The Agency should first complete Local Assistance Program Guideline (LAPG) Form 25-A. For LPP-F, funds must be allocated in the same fiscal year there were programmed.
See Timely Use of Funds section below. Please refer to the Local Assistance Allocation Page for detailed instructions, process steps, and a list of required documents for allocation. Local Assistance Allocation Page District Local Assistance Engineer (DLAE) In accordance with Section 19.

Must be submitted within 180 days of the conclusion of all remaining project activities beyond the acceptance of the construction contract to reflect final project expenditures, any changes that occurred after submitting the Completion Report and an updated evaluation of the benefits. All reporting is done through CalSMART. Timely Use of Funds (TUF) The CTC expects programmed projects to meet established deadlines during implementation.
As outlined in Section 20 of the Local Partnership Formulaic Program Guidelines , if these deadlines are not met and a time extension is not approved before the deadline expires, the LPP-F funds will be removed from the project phase and redistributed in the next Local Partnership Program cycle. Please refer to Section 20 for detailed deadlines related to allocation, contract award, expenditure, and construction completion.
For more information on Timely Use of Funds, please see Chapter 25 of Local Assistance Program Guidelines (LAPG) Section 25. 5. 1 "General Requirements and Procedures for All Programs".
Time extension requests must be submitted early enough to appear on the CTC agenda and meet required deadlines. Please refer to the CTC Meeting preparation calendar. Office of CTC Liaison (OCTCL) | Caltrans Supplemental funding requests for Pre-Construction phases may be considered up to six months prior to the expenditure deadline.

Three separate deadlines — the continuing resolution, the surface transportation extension, and the statutory freeze on OMB's grant-rule rewrite — now expire on the same day, with a lame-duck Congress and a handful of weeks to resolve them. Here is what that means for anyone holding or chasing a federal award.
