2022-2025 BACTS Transportation Improvement Program Proposed Amendment

BACTS proposes to amend the 2022-2025 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) related to the following:

All federally funded projects must be in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and the Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) in in order to receive federal funding. These projects are located in the BACTS area and are funded with Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration funds. BACTS must update the TIP when there is a change to any project such as funding increase or a request to add a project to the TIP. These changes must also be reflected in the MaineDOT STIP. MaineDOT must receive the BACTS Policy Committee endorsement when any federally funded project has a major scope change or cost increase or when MaineDOT wishes to add a project to the STIP. All TIP amendments must be posted to the BACTS website for a 10-day public comment period starting January 30th, 2023. MaineDOT is seeking a TIP amendment of the following:

Amend the current 2022-2025 TIP to include the FHWA and FTA project list proposed for the 2023-2026 TIP. This allows all 2023 projects to be authorized at their current level of funding, with updated information, prior to the 2023-2026 STIP/TIP approval. Included in this TIP amendment is the 2023-2026 FHWA and FTA project list.

2022-2025 TIP Amendment-01302023

The public comment period will end Friday, February 10th, 2023. Please submit any comments to info@bactsmpo.org.
