Public Notification of Amendment to MPO’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

View the full memo about the proposed amendment here. Now accepting public input January 31 – February 18. Email MPO staff your comments.

The Lexington Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (LAMPO) is conducting a 15-day public comment period about amending one of our our key planning documents. This would be Amendment 2 to the Fiscal Year 2025-2028 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

The proposed TIP Amendment does two things.

1) It moves 13 new projects from the 2050 MTP into the FY 2025-2028 TIP, bringing those projects into the “work phase” of implementation.

2) It adds more funding for 5 projects that are already in the FY 2025-2028 TIP. MPO staff has recommended this additional funding based on a call for projects hosted at the end of 2024. (Find out more about that open call for projects here.)

This amendment is about assigning funds to projects that have already been identified as priority projects.

Here is a timeline for the proposed Amendment #2:

January 29 – Transportation Policy Committee (TPC) members review staff recommendations

January 31 to February 18 – Public comments accepted

February 12 – Transportation Technical Coordinating Committee (TTCC) reviews and makes recommendation

February 26 – Public invited to comment during TPC meeting; TPC members review public comments, recommendations from TTCC and MPO staff, and relevant information. TPC decides whether or not to adopt Amendment #2
