SRPC 2023-2026 TIP Amendment 3

An Amendment to the 2023-2026 Transportation Improvement Program with corresponding updates to the 2023-2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan was accepted on November 17, 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 #3 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 #3 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 will begin on Tuesday, November 7, 2023, and
will end at the close of business on Thursday, November 16, 2023. A public hearing will be held by
the SRPC Policy Committee meeting at 9:00 am on 9:00 am on Friday, November 17, 2023. The
