NOTICE HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DISCUSSION ON STATE HIGHWAY AND COUNTY ROAD CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PROJECTS Notice is hereby given that the HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (HDOT) will be holding its first round of virtual public informational meetings to discuss and solicit comments on the DRAFT STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (STIP) for FEDERAL FISCAL YEARS 2022 2025 (+2). We encourage participation in these meetings, as comments received will help to guide the finalization of the STIP. The STIP is a four-year programming implementation document that identifies STATE and COUNTY transportation projects, statewide, to be funded, in part, with Federal Highway and Transit funds. HDOT will be holding two rounds of virtual meetings via Microsoft Teams. The first round of meetings will share the STIP development process, discuss the fiscally unconstrained FFY 2022-2025 (+2) STIP, and solicit input. Comments and questions regarding the content of the first round of meetings will be accepted until Monday, June 28, 2021. Once the STIP is prioritized and fiscally constrained, a second round of meetings will be held to share the proposed fiscally constrained FFY 2022-2025 (+2) STIP, that will be submitted to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for approval. The virtual public informational meetings for Hawaii island are scheduled for Monday, May 24, 2021 and Thursday, May 27, 2021. Meetings start at 6:30 PM.
