HARRINGTON <br />GOVERNOR March 27, 1989 SECRETARY <br /> <br /> MEMOPJ%NDUM TO: County Managers <br /> <br /> FROM: James E. Harrington <br /> <br /> SUBJECT: Public Meetings to Update Transportation <br /> Improvement Program <br /> <br /> Governor Martin, the Board of Transportation and I invite you to <br /> participate in a public meeting to update our Transportation <br /> Improvement Program (TIP). A series of 15 public meetings has <br /> been scheduled across the state to get your advice on highway <br /> improvements in your area. Your comments will be carefully <br /> considered by the board during it~ update of the TIP. We need you <br /> at the meetings to obtain an accurate assessment of the needs and <br /> priorities in your area. <br /> <br /> The TIP process has evolved from a "wish list" to a dependable <br /> program of transportation improvements. Last year we started over <br /> 94 percent of the highway projects that were scheduled. <br /> <br /> I believe the TIP format is the best way to schedule <br /> transportation improvements. In addition to road improvements, we <br /> welcome your ideas on aviation, public transportation, rail and <br /> bicycle projects. Your assistance is important if we are to <br /> continue the accuracy and dependability of our transportation <br /> planning process. <br /> <br /> If it is inconvenient for you to attend the meeting in your area, <br /> you may want to join other area 6ffiCials in presenting a combined <br /> priority list of projects for the Board of Transportation to <br /> consider. Your recommendations, in priority, should be sent to <br /> Mr. George E. Wells, State Highway Administrator, N.C. Department <br /> of Transportation, P.O. Box 25201, Raleigh, N.C. 27611. <br /> <br /> JEH/ala <br /> <br /> Attachment <br /> <br /> <br />
