LEGAL ADVERTISEMENT FOR WV DOT STIP AMENDMENT 5 The Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is a financially constrained document that is required to show planned Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) expenditures for federal fiscal years 2023-2028. One of the requirements of funding any project with federal transportation funds is that each proposed regionally significant project or major change to program group size undergoes a public review and comment period. Therefore, additions or deletions to the STIP and certain changes to current projects or groupable programs in the STIP must meet this requirement before federal funds can be obligated. As such, the West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) is requesting your assistance in making available the listing of proposed amendments to the approved 2023-2028 STIP. The project listing and program funding snapshots can be found by viewing Amendment 5 at the link below: https://transportation.wv.gov/highways/Programming/STIP/Pages/Amendments-2023-2028.aspx If you require a printed copy, please contact the address/number below.
