The Transportation Improvement Program, or TIP, required under the provisions of Title 23, U. S. C., and the Federal Transit Act, as amended through June 1992, includes projects consistent with the Long Range Transportation Plan for the study area. This plan was adopted by the Wood-Washington-Wirt Interstate Planning Commission and is reaffirmed annually. Projects presented in this TIP are to provide for transportation needs during the fiscal years of 1997-2000 for Wood County in West Virginia, and portions of Washington County, Ohio, including the Townships of Dunham, Fearing, Marietta, Muskinghum, Newport, Warren and the Cities of Belpre and Marietta. Wirt County, West Virginia, is no longer a part of the study area. When the Census Bureau excluded Wirt County from the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), it was also excluded as part of the study area. The official name of the organization, however, did not change. The identified projects are intended to make efficient use of existing highways as well as provide new facilities. Mass transit projects are also identified which provide for continued assistance, support and improvements for the Mid-Ohio Valley Transit Authority, or MOVTA, Easy Rider System in Parkersburg/Vienna, West Virginia, and Community Action Bus Lines in Washington County, Ohio. |
