Notice is hereby given of the Availability of the following Draft documents for public review and comment:

Draft Amendment # 6 to the Merrimack Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization (MVMPO) Federal Fiscal Years (FFYs) 2020-2024 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) March 2020

and

Draft Amendment # 1 to the FFY 2020 MVMPO Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) March 2020

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 UPWP presents information on the transportation planning activities that will be carried out in the MVMPO region over the federal fiscal year (October 1, 2020 � September 30, 2021). Most of these analyses and studies will be conducted by the transportation planning staff of the Merrimack Valley Planning Commission. However, other important studies that impact the region, including studies conducted by other agencies, are also identified and briefly described.

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

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