The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) continues to mandate the certification of the transportation planning process in Transportation Management Areas (TMAs) at least once every four years by the Federal Highway (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administrations (FTA).

The FHWA and FTA are seeking public comment and review of the planning activities and procedures.
