LIMA--The Lima-Allen County Regional Planning Commission (LACRPC) is soliciting public review and comment on the FY 2024-2027 Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) and the FY 2024-2027 State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP).  The TIP is an official listing of capital, highway, transit, pedestrian, bicycle, and bridge projects scheduled for construction with federal funds in Allen County over the next four-year period. Planning and engineering efforts are also identified.

The public participation process for the TIP will also serve for the program of projects for the Allen County Regional Transit Authority (ACRTA). The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is the biennial five-year plan for future allocations of certain state transportation funds for state highway improvements, intercity rail, and regional highway and transit improvements. State law requires the Commission to update the STIP biennially, in even- numbered years, with each new STIP adding two new years to prior programming commitments.

The Public Comment Period will take place from March 9th through March 31st with an Open House on March 15th from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Lima-Allen County Regional Planning Commission office located at 130 W. North St, Lima. The documents will also be available on the LACRPC website at www.lacrpc.com in the “Recently at RPC…” Section and public comments can be sent to [email protected].
