Lew Ann Jncabn r Transportation Board to Study Priorities at Fairmont Meeting Raleigh-A public meeting that will' help the state Board of Transportation reassess and reorder highway construction priorities as a result of severely limited financial re sources will be held in Fair series scheduled in each of the state's highway divisions to begin the process of updating the 1982-1991 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is the department's basic highway construction planning document. It was last updated in December, 1981, following a similar series of public meetings. This year's meeting for counties in Highway Division 6 wifi be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday in the Fairmont High School Cafeteria, located near the NC-130 Bypass and Golf Course Road in Fairmont. Transportation board mem berS Oscar N. Harris and Thomas Lenwood Rich 111 will preside. Speakers will be registered between 1 and 2 p.m. at the cafeteria. Counties in the division are Bladen, Columbus. Cumber land* Harnett an& Bofeaip. The meetings tfils year will be held with emphasis being placed on the highway fund ing crisis which state Trans portation Secretary William R. Roberson Jr. said will have an impact on the TIP. Sharp increases in the costs of highway work due to inflation and declining state highway revenues resulting mostly from more fuel- effi cient vehicles are the main causes of the funding crisis. "With this severe problem facing us, we strongly urge the public to help us make a very careful review of the projects already in the 1982 1991 TIP," Roberson said. "We want the people of the mt St ?i i iJ^ state to share with us their opinions on what our priori ties ought to be in view of our funding crisis. "When our Board updated our current program last year, SI.2 billion in highway pro jects had to be made inactive due to anticipated lower fun ding levels for construction," Roberson said. He added that the S120 million of additional revenue generated by the Governor's "Good RoacHC. pmgraan has been used chieflyWr main tenance to protect the high way system as originally proposed. This past fiscal year, the Board awarded contracts to resurface 3,300 miles of highways as compar ed to approimately 350 miles the previous fiscal year. Roberson cautioned that unless new sources of funds are found by July of 1983, the state will not have matching funds for federal highway aid used in the highway improve ment program. Currently 1977 bond funds for highway construction are being used to match federal aid. These funds will be exhausted by July of next vear. That will liu1 ?? " if!'1 .1 J^a mean, in effect, said Rober- | son, "that we won't have a highway construction pro- I gram after that date." The Secretary added, '"We believe the TIP is a postive approach to scheduling high way projects and other types of transportation improve ments involving aviation, public transportation, rail and bicycles. We need the pub lic's help to keep our program viable and responsive to the transportation needs of North ^ Carolina. "tye will also bring people up to date on the status of projects in their particular area and provide them a summary of our projected x revenues and the costs of construction," he said. Local officials have been invited by Gov. Jim Hunt, 1 Roberson and members of the Transportation priorities at the sessions. Roberson also i issued a "special plea" for citizens from all walks of life to participate in the meetings. 1 The Secretary plans to attend the sessions.
