Intercity Transit Seeks Public Comment on
Annual Transportation Improvement Program

Olympia, WA – Intercity Transit invites public comments on transit projects identified in the annual update of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the period 2023-2026. Identifying projects in the local agency TIP is a requirement for the agency to utilize Federal funding.

The public comment period begins March 18, 2022 and runs thru April 20, 2022. A public hearing is scheduled for April 20, 2022 and will be held remotely in accordance with Intercity Transit Authority meeting procedures. Opportunities to comment by telephone or other remote means are also available.  Further details concerning how to provide comment at the public hearing, by telephonic, or remote means will be posted on the Intercity Transit website: www.intercitytransit.com.  

The draft TIP details Intercity Transit’s complete program of potentially federally funded projects for 2023-2026. It includes projects also programmed through the Thurston Regional Planning Council (TRPC) and the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC).

The draft TIP is subject to review by the Thurston Regional Planning Council and Puget Sound Regional Council (for projects that include secured or anticipated PSRC Earned Share formula funds), for inclusion in the respective regional TIP (RTIP).  Federally funded projects must be included in the STIP prior to actual funding being available.
