The Northeastern Pennsylvania Alliance (NEPA), designated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as the Rural Planning Organization (RPO) for Carbon, Monroe, Pike, Schuylkill and Wayne Counties, convenes the Northeastern Pennsylvania Rural Transportation Planning Organization (NPRTPO) Committee and Transit Subcommittee, which serves to assist and advise NEPA with assessing the transportation needs of these rural counties. The committees review the area’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which is the primary funding source for the counties’ highway and bridge projects, and transit system improvements. Through the TIP, transportation projects are identified and advanced to provide for the restoration and development of an intermodal transportation infrastructure, which supports economic development by creating a safer and more efficient travel environment for the movement of people and goods.

 In accordance with the provisions of the Sunshine Law and federal transportation legislation, notice is given that the NPRTPO Committees have scheduled business meetings on the following dates:
