SRPEDD Announces a 21-day Public Comment Period and Virtual Public Meeting on Tuesday, January 9, 2024, at 4:00 pm to hear comments on the release of Amendment #2 of the FFY2024-2028 TIP that includes a project cost decrease and inclusion of a new project.

December 19, 2023 – The FFY2024-2028 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for Southeastern  Massachusetts is being amended due to a project cost decrease and inclusion of a new project. Project 13194, which funds guide and traffic sign replacement on a section of Interstate 495 from Wareham to Raynham, will decrease in cost from $8,023,070 to $6,066,394 due to adjusted project limit, change in materials and adjustments in unit prices. Additionally, District 5 Project 613142 will now be included in the FFY2024-2028 TIP. It funds ITS roadway equipment for highway operations for the towns of Dartmouth, Lakeville, Middleborough, New Bedford, North Attleborough, Norton, Swansea, and Taunton.

A virtual public meeting on this amendment will be held remotely on Tuesday, January 9, 2023 at 4:00 PM. Everyone is welcome to attend, ask questions and offer comments, but attendance is not necessary to offer input or comment. More options to offer comments can be found below.
