Subcommittee approves draft FY2027–2036 TIP update; finalization expected in September

South Carolina Subcommittee of the Augusta Regional Transportation Study Policy Committee · May 7, 2026

Summary

The subcommittee approved the draft FY2027–2036 Transportation Improvement Program update, with staff noting schedule adjustments due to rising costs on projects like SC‑126 and a planned finalization by Sept. 17, 2026; the item will return for final approval Aug. 6.

Staff presented a draft of the FY2027–2036 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) update and described updates to introductions, safety and congestion narratives, project cost estimates, and financial statements. While no major project additions were proposed, staff warned that cost increases—particularly for SC‑126—may shift project schedules.

Mr. Duke said the draft TIP reflects coordination with ARTS Georgia partners and federal requirements; staff expects to finalize the document by Sept. 17, 2026 and will return the item for final approval at the Aug. 6, 2026 subcommittee meeting. Councilman Danny Feagin moved to approve the draft TIP; Mr. Tommy Paradise seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

The draft approval advances the update process but does not lock in any construction funding—final programming depends on subsequent cost reviews and commission actions.
