GETTING TO KNOW JUMPO

PUBLIC COMMENT

The Jacksonville Urban Area MPO is seeking public comment on the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP), which is a subset of the adopted STIP and identifies state and federally funded transportation investments within the Jacksonville MPO.

The MTIP schedule follows that of the STIP. After the NCDOT STIP is approved, the JUMPO develops a draft TIP (MTIP) that lists projects within the JUMPO area and their corresponding revenue estimates.

2024-2033 MTIP

The Transportation Advisory Committee adopted the 2024-2033 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTIP) on September 14, 2023. Amendment 1 is being proposed to add Statewide projects to the MTIP document in order to maintain NCDOT and FHWA compliancy.

The Amendment 1 Draft MTIP must be published for a minimum 25-day public comment period in accordance with the Public Participation Plan and is available for review here. Public comment will be received until October 18, 2023, by sending an email to Stephen Adams at sadams2@jacksonvillenc.gov.

The Transportation Advisory Committee will be considering adoption of Amendment 1 at their meeting on October 19, 2023.
