Funding for Municipal Road Construction (VV-LVFGKom/LFAG-StB)

This funding program targets municipal authorities and special purpose associations in Rhineland-Palatinate to improve the municipal transport network. It supports urgently needed road construction measures that enhance traffic conditions and are aligned with spatial planning and state development.

The program supports various municipal road construction projects, including the construction and expansion of roads, bridges, and cycle paths. Both land acquisition costs and construction costs are eligible for funding, although certain cost categories are excluded from support.

Funding is provided as a grant, primarily as co-financing. The grant amount varies between 50% and 90% of eligible costs. The minimum amount of eligible costs depends on the population size of the applicant municipality.

Grant approval is tied to various conditions, including the necessity of the project, alignment with spatial planning and state development goals, and impeccable technical planning. The consideration of accessibility and the assurance of remaining financing are also crucial.

The application procedure involves submission to Landesbetrieb Mobilität, the review of applications, and obtaining municipal supervisory opinions. The approval decision rests either with Landesbetrieb Mobilität or the responsible ministry, depending on the amount of eligible costs.

The funding for municipal road construction is based on the administrative regulation (VV-LVFGKom/LFAG-StB) of June 20, 2005, which is founded on the State Transport Financing Act (LVFGKom) and the State Financial Equalization Act (LFAG). These documents set out the funding conditions, application procedures, and grant provisions.
