Notice is hereby given that the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Council of Governments (Metro COG) is holding a final public meeting for the 2020-2023 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). This public meeting will regard the final draft 2020-2023 TIP document which is inclusive of programmed Federal transportation projects for the four-year timeframe.

The purpose of the public meeting is to provide the public a final opportunity to view and provide comment on the Final Draft Metro COG 2020-2023 TIP for the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Area (FM Area). The TIP coordinates and schedules transportation projects (i.e., highway, street, bikeway, pedestrian, transit, safety, enhancements and other transportation-related improvements) in the FM Area over the next four years, thereby making these projects eligible for federal assistance.
