Corridor Metropolitan Planning Organization

Corridor Metropolitan Planning Organization, a non-profit entity based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the Federal Highway Administration for transportation safety planning work, with a secondary footprint as a sub-recipient on planning grants passed through state transportation agencies.

Corridor MPO is structured as a non-profit organization and operates exclusively in the grant space rather than as a federal contractor. The organization's federal grant portfolio consists of three awards totaling $1.2 million in combined obligations across 2022 and 2023. The prime award is a Safe Streets for All Action Plan grant from the Federal Highway Administration, awarded September 7, 2023, with ultimate completion scheduled for December 7, 2026. The two sub-awards are SFY 2023 and SFY 2024 Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) planning funds, dated August 10, 2022 and July 21, 2023 respectively, indicating pass-through funding from state transportation departments.

Activity is minimal and geographically concentrated. Corridor MPO has served only the Federal Highway Administration as a named customer agency, accounting for 33% of recent awards (the prime Safe Streets for All grant). Two-thirds of the organization's federal footprint comes through sub-awards on state-administered planning grant programs. One prime award (the Safe Streets for All grant) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering potential recompete exposure in that window. The organization's work centers on metropolitan transportation planning, safety action planning, and air-quality congestion mitigation — typical of a regional MPO's federal grant portfolio — with no federal contract prime or sub-contractor presence in the source data.
