DESCRIPTION:The Akron Metropolitan Area Transportation Study (AMATS) is h
 osting an April 5 meeting to receive public comments regarding its Draft
  Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for Fiscal Years 2012 through 
 2015.\n&nbsp\;\nThe TIP is the comprehensive program of more than $628 m
 illion of highway\, public transit\, and bicycle and pedestrian improvem
 ent projects scheduled to receive federal transportation funds over the 
 next four years within the Greater Akron area.&nbsp\; AMATS is the agenc
 y responsible for planning and scheduling transportation projects within
  this area.&nbsp\;\n&nbsp\;\nThe agency will present the draft program d
 uring a public meeting on Tuesday\, April 5 scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
  in the Stow Safety Building located at 3800 Darrow Road in Stow.&nbsp\;
  Transit service is available to this meeting via METRO Route #103 &ndas
 h\; Stow/Hudson.\n&nbsp\;\nThe latest TIP addresses the common problem c
 onfronting the nation&rsquo\;s transportation planning agencies: limited
  funding for projects.&nbsp\; While the draft program includes a number 
 of major and much-needed improvement projects\, it also promotes preserv
 ation of the area&rsquo\;s existing system rather than costly roadway ex
 pansions.\n&nbsp\;\nA unique aspect of this TIP is that it has many proj
 ects aimed at promoting connectivity among communities such as improved 
 public transit service\, new bike and hike trails and similar pedestrian
 -oriented improvements.\n&nbsp\;\nThe public is encouraged to comment on
  the Draft TIP.&nbsp\; Copies of the  draft program will also be availab
 le for public review for 14 days beginning Monday\, April 4 and ending F
 riday\, April 15 at various locations including the AMATS web site at ww
 w.amatsplanning.org.\n&nbsp\;\nAll public comments should be submitted t
 o AMATS by April 15.\n&nbsp\;\nPersons with disabilities needing assista
 nce are asked to contact Billy Soule\, Assistant to the Mayor for Commun
 ity Relations\, 166 S. High Street\, Room 503\, Akron\, Ohio 44308\, (vo
 ice) 330-375-2189\, (TDD) 330-375-2345\, at least seven (7) days in adva
 nce.
