Metropolitan Plazirzing Organizations {MPOs) have been requested to amend their Federal
Transportation Improvement Program {FTIl') to reflect the requested delivery dates. The above
projects are locked in for delivery in the 2011112 FFY and local agencies will not be allowed to
change their schedules. Your agency should work with your MPO on the status of the FTIP

Projects programmed in the current FFY for which federal funds are not obligated by end of the
FFY may be removed from fundable element of the FTII' at the California Department of
Transportation's discretiozl and will be reported to California Transportation Commission (OTC).
The CTC may require local agencies to appear at the CTC meetizxg to explain their delay in
delivering their seismic retrofit prof ects.
Thank you in advance fox your agency's effort in completing the seismic retrof t of the local
bridges and improving the safety of the local roadways.
