The Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) is informing the public of transportation projects awarded through the Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division (EFLHD) that will be incorporated into the Informational Appendix of the current Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for reference. These projects are part of the EFLHD’s recently completed FY 2026 – 2029 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) annual update, which outlines transportation improvements within federally managed lands in Georgia.
 
Under Title 23 U.S.C § 204, the development of a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a federal requirement as part of the transportation planning process for all projects within Federal Lands. These projects are programmed for funding through the Federal Lands Transportation Program (FLTP), the Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP), or funds managed directly by Federal Lands Management Agency (FLMA) partners.
 
The comment period is currently open and will close on February 16, 2026. Georgia DOT encourages the public to provide comments on the updated project list located in the informational appendix on the STIP website. Any comments received will be forwarded to the appropriate project sponsor(s).
