An Amendment to the 2023-2026 Transportation Improvement Program with corresponding updates to the 2023-2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan was accepted on May 19, 2023.

The Strafford Regional Planning Commission (SRPC), functioning as the federally mandated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Strafford Region, is holding a comment period and public hearing for the proposed Amendment #1 to the adopted 2023-2026 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is a prioritized list of federal and state funded regional transportation projects programmed for the next four years. The amendment is necessary to account for project changes and to maintain consistency with the 2023-2026 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). SRPC is conducting this process in accordance with the Strafford MPO’s public involvement procedures and federal and state regulations.

Amendment #1 impacts projects listed in the 2023-2026 TIP which is part of the 2023-2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) for the region. Full amendments to the TIP require a 10-day public comment period, a public hearing, and approval by the Strafford MPO Policy Committee. A 10-day public comment period for this amendment was held from Monday, May 8, 2023 to Thursday, May 18, 2023. A public hearing was held by the SRPC Policy Committee meeting at 9:00 am on Friday, May 19, 2023.
