P.E. <br /> STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR <br /> MEMORANDUM TO: Technical Coordinatin• Committee <br /> FROM: James E. Harrington Ni P "1' <br /> SUBJECT: Public Meetings to •.ate Transportion <br /> Improvement Program <br /> Governor Martin, the Board of Transportation and I <br /> invite you to participate in a public meeting to update our <br /> Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) . A series of 15 <br /> public meetings has been scheduled throughout the state to <br /> get your advice on highway improvements in your area. Your <br /> comments are carefully considered by board during their <br /> update of the TIP. We need you at the meetings to obtain a <br /> accurate assessment of the needs and priorities in your area. <br /> The TIP process has evolved from a "wish list" to a <br /> dependable program of transportation improvements. Last year <br /> we started over 90 percent of all highway projects scheduled <br /> to start in 1987. <br /> Thus, I believe the TIP format is the best way to <br /> schedule all types of transportation improvements. In <br /> addition to road improvements, we welcome your ideas on <br /> airports, public transportation, rail and bicycle projects. <br /> Your assistance is vital if we are to continue the high <br /> degree of accuracy and dependability currently included in <br /> our transportation planning process. <br /> If it is inconvenient for you to attend the meeting in <br /> your area, you may want to coordinate with other area <br /> officials and present a combined priority list of <br /> projects <br /> for the Board of Transportation to consider. Your <br /> recommendations, in priority, should be sent to Mr. George <br /> E. Wells , state highway administrator, North Carolina <br /> Department of Transportation, P.O. Box 25201, Raleigh, N.C. <br /> 27611. <br /> JEH/ala <br /> Attachment <br />
