Georgia DOT Seeks Input on the Revised Administrative Modification, Amendment Process
ATLANTA, GA – The Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) is seeking public comment on the updated Georgia Statewide and Metropolitan Administrative Modification and Amendment Process. The public comment period will be open to the public through September 15, 2024.
This process governs the provisions for revisions to the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and individual Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) Transportation Improvement Programs (TIP).
Georgia DOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) have met to agree to the language changes as well as the thresholds for triggering an amendment. Revisions include language changes throughout the process for additional clarity along with a change to the financial thresholds designed to address the rising project costs due to inflation, which trigger an amendment.
The comment period is currently open, and the public is encouraged to comment through September 15, 2024.
Georgia Department of Transportation plans, constructs and maintains Georgia’s state and federal highways. We are involved in bridge, waterway, public transit, rail, general aviation, bike and pedestrian programs. And we help local governments maintain their roads. Georgia DOT and it’s nearly 4,000 employees are committed to delivering a transportation system focused on innovations, safety, sustainability and mobility. The Department’s vision is to boost Georgia’s competitiveness through leadership in transportation.
