Transportation Improvement Program Amendment Schedule
UPDATE THE TIP |
RESOURCES |
Transportation Improvement Program |
Amendments to the TIP are limited to three during the years when a new TIP is developed, and to four during the years when a new TIP is not developed. In order to ensure adequate time to review the amendments for air quality conformity, financial capacity and environmental justice considerations, deadlines have been established for submitting amendment requests to MARC for each amendment cycle. These deadlines allow staff two months to review the requests and prepare required analyses and other materials prior to the scheduled presentation to the Air Quality Forum and TTPC. It is anticipated that one of the quarterly amendments would coincide with the annual KCATA/transit TIP amendment.

In the event of extenuating circumstances (emergency projects in response to natural and other disasters, situations where federal funds to the region are at risk, etc.), where an amendment becomes necessary outside of the established schedule, staff will work with the project sponsors to process the amendment in as timely a manner as possible. In situations where project sponsors had opportunity to request the amendment under a regularly scheduled amendment cycle, they will be asked to pay for the advertising costs associated with the amendment.
