Planning & Implementing Transportation Improvements for Chemung County
ECTC releases 2013-2018 Draft Transportation Improvement Program
The Federal transportation laws require that a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), consistent with the ECTC Long Range Plan, be developed. It must contain the capital and non-capital transportation projects proposed for funding under Title 23 (highways) and Title 49 (transit) laws. The draft TIP represents the choices for the use of Federal transportation funds in the Elmira urbanized area that are presented to the public for their review. It consists of a listing of projects being considered for implementation in the County for a five-year period in each of several Federal-Aid funding categories. Projects that are proposed for inclusion in the TIP are evaluated and implementation priorities are developed based on project needs, local priorities, funding availability, and project readiness for implementation.
The public is invited to comment on the projects proposed and not proposed until May 5, 2013 at ectc@stny.rr.com. All comments received will be considered in developing the final Elmira-Chemung Transportation Council 2013-2018 Transportation Improvement Program.
