At the April 22, 2013 meeting of the SCATS Policy Committee, there was a review of the 2014-17 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan. Both of these are in the final draft phase. The TIP projects are those that are planned for construction in the next four years. The Long Range Plan has a 25-year outlook at transportation improvements. The Policy Committee will look to approve these at their next meeting- Tuesday, May 28th. The TIP and Long Range Plan are on our website in their entirety and continue to be open for public comment. We welcome questions and comments. www.rpc.co.stark.oh.us
