JESUP — The Georgia Department of Transportation is presenting the Draft FY 2014-2017 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program in Southeast Georgia for public review and comment.
The Georgia DOT District 5 Office in Jesup will sponsor an open-house meetings in which the public can view the draft 2014-17 STIP in Southeast Georgia, view maps of projects in the local area, discuss projects with department staff and formally offer comments.
The meeting is from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday at Bulloch County Commissioners Chamber, 115 N. Main St. in Statesboro.
The pending STIP will specify federally funded transportation projects for non-urban communities in rural Georgia for fiscal years 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
These projects include, but are not limited to, new construction, improvements and maintenance for interstate highways, state routes and bridges.
Additional projects include bicycle and pedestrian projects, transportation enhancement projects and public transit projects.
The public is invited to view projects planned for Bryan, Appling, Bacon, Bulloch, Brantley, Charlton, Camden, Candler, Effingham, Evan, Jeff Davis, Long, McIntosh, Montgomery, Pierce, Tattnall, Telfair, Toombs, Wayne and Wheeler counties.  
The STIP is a four-year program designed to achieve Georgia’s transportation goals as envisioned by the governor and State Transportation Board to improve the mobility of people and movement of goods across the state, expand Georgia’s role in global commerce, reduce injury and loss of life on state roadways and prioritize investments in Georgia’s transportation infrastructure assets.
