The Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission has opened a 30-day public comment period on the draft changes to the 2018-2021 Transportation Improvement Program. The comment period ends July 4.
NIRPC’s TIP is a short-range financial and spending plan for the use of federal transportation funding. The funds can be used for highway, transit, and non-motorized transportation projects.
NIRPC's TIP is occasionally updated and includes projects coordinated by municipalities, counties, transit operators, and the state. Federal planning regulations guide the preparation and development of TIP documents.
Comments can be emailed to comments@nirpc.org or phoned in at 219-763-6060. Comments also can be mailed to NIRPC, 6100 Southport Road, Portage, IN 46368
All comments received during the 30-day public comment period will be compiled into a public comment report and responded to. This report will be made available to the public and distributed to the Commission members prior to any action on these items.
NIRPC said any action seeking a recommendation for approval will be taken at the July 10 meeting of the Technical Planning Committee, followed by action of approval at the July 19 meeting of the NIRPC Commission.
Documents and information will be available for review at the public meetings, as well as NIRPC’s website at www.nirpc.org.
