WAMPO FFY2023-FFY2026 Transportation Improvement Program

The Public Comment Period for 2023-2026 Transportation Improvement Program Amendment #6 Is Open

The Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO) has opened the public comment period for Amendment 6 to the FFY2023-FFY2026 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), January 6, 2024, through January 21, 2024. Public comments received during this 16-day period will be reported to and considered by the WAMPO Transportation Policy Body, which will decide whether to revise the document prior to final approval on February 13, 2024.

A TIP is required for a metropolitan area to receive federal transportation funds. Demonstrating a planned approach, all regionally significant and/or federally funded transportation projects in the WAMPO region are required to be included in the TIP. These projects may include highway, road, or bridge construction projects, operations and maintenance of the transportation system, equipment purchases, such as replacement buses, and transportation planning initiatives, among other project types. Changes to and additions of specific projects are often required before the development of the next new TIP, so WAMPO conducts regularly scheduled amendments to the TIP, usually about four per year.

WAMPO fully complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related statutes and regulations in all programs and activities. For more information or to obtain a Title VI Discrimination Complaint Form, see www.wampo.org or call 316.779.1313.
