Media release from the Georgia Department of Transportation:
The Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) is seeking public comment on the updated Georgia Statewide and Metropolitan Administrative Modification and Amendment Process. The public comment period will be open to the public through September 15, 2024.
This process governs the provisions for revisions to the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and individual Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) Transportation Improvement Programs (TIP).
Georgia DOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) have met to agree to the language changes as well as the thresholds for triggering an amendment. Revisions include language changes throughout the process for additional clarity along with a change to the financial thresholds designed to address the rising project costs due to inflation, which trigger an amendment.
The comment period is currently open, and the public is encouraged to comment through September 15, 2024.
