From the meeting
“we're adding money and as required, we have the resolution. We have the planning process certification. Federal Highway Virginia reached out to me with questions about if this is required for every tip amendment.”
What happened
The Federal Highway Administration has signaled a pre-RFP opportunity related to funding for Virginia's transportation projects. This signal indicates a forthcoming solicitation for maintenance and system preservation projects, following an amendment to the 2026-2029 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) that allocates $29 million for these efforts.
During the Kingsport MTPO Executive Board Meeting held on August 14, 2026, discussions highlighted the need to add funds to Virginia's maintenance grouping due to an overlap year in the TIP schedule. This amendment reflects the urgency and necessity of funding for ongoing projects, making it a critical opportunity for vendors in the transportation sector to prepare for upcoming solicitations.
