Howard County Amendment to 08-12 TIP
Howard County Amendment to 2008-2012 TIP
Howard County proposed amending the Fiscal Year 2008-2012 Baltimore Region Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) by making modifications to the Central Maryland Transit Operations & Maintenance Facility (CMTOMF) project, currently included in the TIP.
The amendment shifted funding from the Project Planning phase to the Right-of-Way or property acquisition phase. The funding amounts (approximately $3.6 million) for these categories would not change, only the phase.
