The 2024-2033 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) identifies state and federally funded transportation investments within the New Bern Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Area.
Amendment 1 has several Statewide projects that are either being added or modified to include the municipal bridge inspection program, vulnerable road user program, signal retiming and signal operations to improve safety, safety management program, highway system data collection, school traffic analysis, traffic operations activities, creating an advanced right of way acquisition account, and system safety oversight grant for NCDOT Rail Division. Within the MPO area, CARTS is requesting adding funding for vehicle replacement, mobility management, ADA/paratransit, and operations.
This Amendment will enable transportation projects to continue to move through the planning, design, right-of-way, and construction phases. Public comment will be received through November 7, 2023.
