Sharp increases in the costs of highway work due to inflation and declining state highway revenues resulting mostly from more fuel efficient 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 state to share with us their opinions on what our priorities ought to be in view of our funding crisis. "When our Board updated our current program last year, SI. 2 billion in highway projects had to be made inactive due to anticipated lower funding levels for construc tion," Roberson said. He added that the SI 20 million of additional revenue generated by the Governor's Good Roads pro gram has been used chiefly for maintenance to protect the highway system as originally proposed. This past fiscal year, the Board awarded contracts to resurface 3,300 miles of highways as compared to ap proximately 350 miles the previous fiscal year. Roberson cautioned that unless new sources of funds are found by July 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 construc tion are being used to match federal aid. These funds will be exhausted by July of next year. That will mean, in effect, said Roberson, "that we won't have a highway construction program after that date." The secretary added, "We be lieve the TIP is a positive approach to scheduling highway projects and other types of transportation im provements involving aviation, public transportation, rail and bicyces. We need the public's help to keep our program viable and responsive to the transportation needs of North Carolina. "We will also bring people up to date on the status of projects in their particular area and provide them a summary of our projected revenue and the costs of construc tion," he said. Local officials have been invited by Gov. Jim Hunt, Roberson and members of the Transportation Board to make recommendations on highway and other transporta tion priorities at the sessions. Roberson also issued a "special plea" for citizens from all walks of life to participate in the meetings. The secretary plans to attend the sessions. / v\ /'*?' \ \ V troy \ / ? / MONTGOMERY < i ( \ \ , V ' ^V Ltl S \ \ / \ V v HOKE j Richmond ^ > ) \ y / ; /' ! c- scotlamo . x PUBLIC MEETING: xv Transportation Improvement Program .s y SUBJECT: Annual Update \/ Thursday.
