The TIP is a Federally-mandated document that programs Federal transportation funding in the region. The TIP provides a brief description of each road or transit project along with estimates of cost and the year that it will likely be advertised for construction. Any transportation project that will use federal transportation funds must be in the TIP. In addition, the MVMPO’s Public Participation Plan satisfies the Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority’s public participation process for the development of its Program of Projects.
The above referenced amendment is available for review on the Merrimack Valley
Planning Commission (MVPC) website ( www.mvpc.org/news ) for the twenty-one (21) day review period beginning on December 1, 2021 and ending on December 21, 2021.
The MVMPO staff will accept emailed written comments on the Draft documents through
December 21, 2021. Public comments must be submitted to: [email protected].
The MVMPO expects to take action on the above amendment at its late December meeting (check www.mvpc.org toward the end of the review period for recent news regarding the MPO VIRTUAL meeting). Members of the public are invited to JOIN the VIRTUAL meeting. Comments on the draft amendment will also be accepted orally at this meeting. In the event that further amendments to the document are recommended, the draft document will be re-released for public comment in accordance with the MVMPO Public Participation Plan. Upon adoption by the MVMPO, the TIP will be considered to be the MVMPO’s final program of projects.

The MVMPO provides reasonable accommodations and/or language assistance free of charge upon request (including but not limited to interpreters in American Sign Language and languages other than English,
