CHARLESTON, W.Va. – A virtual public meeting previously scheduled for June 17 to discuss the West Virginia Department of Transportation’s 2023-2028 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program has been rescheduled to June 30, 2022, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Gov. Jim Justice declared Juneteenth to be observed on Friday, June 17, 2022.

Please see the Amended Notification below:

The West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) is seeking input to help guide the future of transportation in West Virginia. WVDOT is in the process of developing its new 6-year Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The 2023-2028 STIP identifies project investment over a 6-year period to fund the operation, preservation, rehabilitation, and expansion of West Virginia’s highway and transit assetts statewide with the revenue that is estimated to be available.

WVDOT is hosting a virtual public workshop on June 30, 2022, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., for the public to review information on future funding levels and provide input on the potential program categories and funding levels for the 6-year period. The workshop will provide a venue for the public to ask questions and discuss the program with the project team. The input will be used to help formulate a draft STIP document that will be available for review and comment at a later date. Please visit the STIP website at any time during the workshop to access the virtual meeting.
