Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization The Public Comment Period for 2025-2028 Transportation Improvement Program Amendment #5 Is Open The Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO) has opened the public comment period for Amendment 5 to the FFY2025-FFY2028 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), June 27, 2025, through July 11, 2025. Public comments received during this 15-day period will be reported to and considered by the WAMPO Transportation Policy Body, which will decide whether to revise the document prior to final approval on August 12, 2025. A TIP is required for a metropolitan area to receive federal transportation funds. Demonstrating a planned approach, all regionally significant and/or federally funded transportation projects in the WAMPO region are required to be included in the TIP. These projects may include highway, road, or bridge construction projects, operations and maintenance of the transportation system, equipment purchases, such as replacement buses, and transportation planning initiatives, among other project types. Changes to and additions of specific projects are often required before the development of the next new TIP, so WAMPO conducts regularly scheduled amendments to the TIP, usually about four per year.
