The Northwestern
Indiana Regional Planning Commission (NIRPC) will hold a 30-day public
comment period on draft changes to the 2018-21 Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP).
The comment period
begins today and will end July 28.
NIRPC’s TIP is a
short-range financial and spending plan for the utilization of federal
transportation funding. These funds can be used for highway, transit, and
non-motorized transportation projects. NIRPC's TIP is periodically updated
and includes projects undertaken by municipalities, counties, transit
operators, and the State of Indiana. Federal planning regulations guide the
preparation and development of TIP documents.
Comments may be
submitted until July 28, 2019 in the following ways:
--By e-mail:
comments@nirpc.org
--By phone: (219)

--By U.S. Postal
Service: NIRPC, 6100 Southport Road, Portage, IN 46368
All comments
received during the 30-day public comment period will be compiled into a
public comment report and responded to. This report will be made available
to the public and distributed to the relevant NIRPC committees prior to any
action on these items. It is anticipated that action will be taken at the
Aug. 13 meeting of the Technical Planning Committee, then on Aug. 15 by the
NIRPC Commission Executive Board.
