NJTPA TIP and Long Range Plan Up For Public Comment

Earlier this year the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission put up their Long Range Plan, Transportation Improvement Program for New Jersey and Air Quality Conformity Determination up for public comment and the Commission adopted those documents today, which concluded with a picnic in Philadelphia.

Now its the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority's turn: Plan 2040, the NJTPA’s updated Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The Fiscal Year 2014-2017 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). And the Air Quality Conformity Determination for the RTP and TIP. Copies of the draft documents and more details are available at: http://www.njtpa.org/Involved/comment/default.aspx.

Comment on the 2014 DVPRC TIP and the NJ DOT Draft Capital Program

Its almost the end of May and you know what that means - Its TIP Comment Season!

The TIP or Transportation Improvement Program is a regional priority list of federally funded transportation projects that are in the development pipeline. Metropolitan Planning Organizations are required to compile the TIP by law and must allow the public to comment.

The Delaware Valley Planning Commission (DVRPC) is the first of the 3 state  to open up its Draft 2014-2017 Transportation Improvement Program for public comment. The NJTPA and SJTPO will follow suit (follow this blog for those TIPs) and during the entire period everyone can submit comments to the 2014 Draft State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) which is more commonly known at the Capital Program.
