The Heartland Regional Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) announces the start of a seven-day public comment and review period proposed amendment to the FY 2021/22 through FY 2025/26 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 2021/22 to 2025/26 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.
The comment period for the TIP proposed amendment begins on August 30, 2021, and comments will be accepted through September 7, 2021. The proposed TIP amendment will be presented for adoption to the HRTPO Board at their meeting on September 15, 2021. An opportunity for public comment will be available at the meeting before Board action is taken.
