Harrisburg Area Transportation Study to Hold Public Meetings
HARRISBURG -- The Harrisburg Area Transportation Study (HATS) announced today that the public comment period for the draft 2025-28 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and associated Air Quality Conformity Determination (AQCD) is open now through June 1.
The draft TIP is a comprehensive listing of all federally funded transportation highway, bridge, transit and miscellaneous transportation improvement projects that are programmed for funding in the HATS area over the next four years, according to Andrew Bomberger, HATS Transportation Planning Coordinator.
“This is the perfect opportunity for people who care about transportation issues in our area to let us known about their needs and concerns,” Bomberger said.
Review documents are available on the web at https://www.tcrpc-pa.org/hats-transportation-improvement-program.
The Air Quality Conformity Determination demonstrates that the forecast summer day VOC, NOx and PM2.5 and annual direct PM2.5 and NOx emissions satisfy the applicable conformity tests for ozone and fine particulate standards.
