The Heartland Regional Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) announces the start of a seven-day public comment and review period proposed amendment to the FY 2020/21 through FY 2024/25 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is a list of funded transportation projects covering a period of five years. Adopted each year in June, the TIP is updated by amendment throughout the year to ensure authorization of federal funds.
The proposed amendment includes:
• Roll-Forward Report for the FY 2020/21 to 2024/25 TIP: Each year, there are projects scheduled to be authorized before June 30 (when the previous TIP is in effect), but for various reasons, they do not get authorized. These projects will automatically roll forward in FDOT’s Work Program but need to be accounted for in the TIP. This amendment is being done to account for the roll-forward projects within the TIP.
• FPN: 435066-1: SR 17 at CR 17A/Truck Route Environmental Phase Added in 2021, Highlands County
The comment period for the TIP proposed amendment begins on September 8, 2020, and comments will be accepted through September 15, 2020. The proposed TIP amendment will be presented for adoption to the HRTPO Board at their meeting on September 16, 2020. An opportunity for public comment will be available at the meeting before Board action is taken.
