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 second and final 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). 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 concluded its first round of virtual meetings in May 2021, which shared the STIP development process, discussed the fiscally unconstrained FFY 2022-2025 (+2) STIP, and solicited public input. Since then, HDOT has prioritized and fiscally constrained the STIP after evaluating technical and statewide priorities, fiscal requirements, and public input. HDOT will be holding its last round of meetings 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 Thursday, July 29, 2021 and Wednesday, August 4, 2021. Meetings start at 6:30 PM. The link to attend each meeting and meeting materials will be posted on the STIP website (https://highways.hidot.hawaii.gov/stories/s/STIP-Home/63ng-czz7/) prior to the meeting.
