Notice is Hereby Given

Thurston Regional Planning Council (TRPC) invites public comment on a proposal to revise the amendment process to the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP), a list of state-sponsored, federally funded, and regionally significant transportation projects in Thurston County. Beginning Nov. 3^rd, 2017, it is proposed to change the RTIP Amendment process as follows:

• The TRPC Transportation Policy Board (TPB) will approve RTIP formal amendments.
• Public notice for formal amendments to the RTIP will be published on TRPC’s website, www.trpc.org, and will no longer be published in the Olympian.  
• The RTIP Administrative Modification process will apply to the following two additional categories of RTIP amendments:
  
  • All WSDOT projects, unless reviewing staff determine a formal amendment is warranted.
  • All amendments where the purpose is to change only state or local dollars, meaning federal funding is not affected.
