Public Comment Sought on STIP

STATE News:

SANTA FE—The public is invited to comment on the New Mexico Department of Transportation’s second amendment to the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The program will serve as a four-year plan for the state’s federal aid highway program.

The STIP contains proposed road and bridge projects and is required under federal legislation. Projects on the list are on federal and state highways (roads with I, U.S. or NM designations).

The NMDOT has posted the 2014-2017 STIP amendment on the internet asking for public comment until March 20. In addition, the NMDOT will be soliciting final public comment in conjunction with the State Transportation Commission meeting in Truth or Consequences Thursday, March 20.  

The STIP is developed by the NMDOT, working in cooperation with state, local and tribal transportation agencies as well as regional planning organizations. 

Projects included in the STIP are funded with a combination of federal, state and/or local funds. The document is posted on the NMDOT website at dot.state.nm.us/. The NMDOT STIP Coordinator will take comments via email at Rebecca.Maes@state.nm.us.
