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 Coordinated Public Transit Human Services Plan (Coordinated Plan) identifies the unmet transportation needs for seniors and individuals with disabilities as well as strategies for addressing them. The Coordinated Plan is tied directly to the Federal Transit Administration�s (FTA�s) 5310 grant program. An entity may apply for grants under this program only if the service is included in the Coordinated Plan.

The above referenced documents are available for review on the Merrimack Valley Planning Commission (MVPC) website ( http://www.mvpc.org/news ) for the twenty-one (21) day review period beginning on May 1, 2020 and ending on May 21, 2020.

The MVMPO staff will accept emailed written comments on the Draft documents through May 21, 2020. Public comments must be submitted to [email protected].

The MVMPO expects to take action on the above documents at its May meeting (check www.mvpc.org toward the end of the review period for recent news regarding the MPO meeting date and whether the May MVMPO meeting will be VIRTUAL only, or held at the MVPC Offices. Members of the public are invited to JOIN the VIRTUAL meeting, or attend, if the meeting is not virtual. Comments on the draft documents will also be accepted orally at this meeting. In the event that further amendments to the documents are recommended, the draft documents 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.
