January 17, 2024 – The FFY2024-2028 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for Southeastern Massachusetts is being amended due to project cost adjustments and inclusion of new projects. The Transit element of Amendment #3 (Part A) in FFY2024 includes the addition of four Community Transit Grant awards as well as cost and project changes for GATRA. The Community Access to Rides program, MedWheels, Town of North Attleborough, and TPP received Community Transit Grant funding to provide transportation options for seniors and other vulnerable residents who are unable to use other transit options to access critically needed services.
The Highway element (Part B of Amendment #3) in FFY2024 includes a cost reduction for Project 608049 in Fall River, Corridor Improvements on Route 79/Davol Street. It also includes a cost increase for Project 606527 in New Bedford, Superstructure Replacement, I-195 (EB & WB) Ramp C & F over ST 18, County Street, State Street, Mass Coastal Railroad, Purchase Street, Weld Street, and replacing I-195 (EB) Ramp F over Weld Street – which yields funding changes (reductions and inclusion) across FFYs 2024 through 2026. In addition, Project S12880 (Part C of Amendment #3), Airport Bus Service from the Mansfield MBTA Station to Logan Airport, is being proposed for inclusion in FFY2024 of the TIP with flexing of regional Congestion Mitigation Air Quality target funds to the Federal Transit Administration.
