NOTICE OF SOLICITATION OF COMMENTS
STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (STIP)
AMENDMENT NO. 2
FISCAL YEARS 2006 to 2008

The State Department of Transportation is providing an opportunity for the public to submit comments on the proposed Amendment #2 to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2006 to 2008 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The STIP document identifies projects that are to be programmed for federal Highway or Transit funding.

The intent of this amendment is to include a Statewide Safe Routes to School (SR2S) Program. This program will help to develop a plan to promote walking and biking as a safe and viable transportation alternative, especially in the vicinity of schools. Funding for this program will come from Section 1404 of the SAFETEA-LU Transportation Act and will not affect the financial constraint of the existing program.

Interested parties may review the amendment on our website at:
