PUBLIC NOTICE

 FISCAL YEAR 2013 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

The Bonneville Metropolitan Planning Organization's (BMPO) Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a short range five-year program of highway and transit projects for the Bonneville Metropolitan Area.  It is a compilation of projects from various Federal, State and local funding programs.  The TIP is fiscally constrained which means the funding source for a project must be identified and anticipated to be available for completion of the project.

Comments on the proposed FY 2013 TIP will be taken from July 23, 2012 through August 24, 2012.  Written comments should be addressed to BMPO, 1810 W. Broadway, Suite 15, Idaho Falls, Idaho 83402, telephone comments to 612-8530 or email comments to bmpo@idahofallsidaho.gov.

This publication specifically satisfies the Federal Transit Administration's Program of Projects requirements.

If requested, a public hearing will be held.  The proposed FY 2013 TIP will also be the final program unless amended.
