Learning

IBR Program received more than 9,000 individual comments on the Draft SEIS!

The IBR Program received more than 3,600 submissions during the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) 60-day public comment period last fall. A submission includes the entire submittal, such as an email, letter or comment form. Each submission is separated into individual comments based on the topics within their content, meaning that a submission can contain multiple comments. In total, there were more than 9,000 individual comments covering a range of topics. The four most commented on topics were transportation, design, tolling and alternatives.

The Program shared this information during a public presentation to the Executive Steering Group on March 6 and posted it to our Draft SEIS webpage along with PDFs of all raw comment submissions for the public to review. The Program is now in the process of reviewing all comments and preparing responses to include in the Final SEIS, which is currently anticipated to be published late this year. Public comments will be used to refine the design considered for the IBR Program and update analysis of the Modified LPA as appropriate.

Advisory Group Highlights

The Community Advisory Group and Equity Advisory Group did not meet during Q1 of 2025. A joint meeting of with both groups will take place in April. 

Community Benefits Advisory Group (CBAG)

The CBAG's work in Q1 focused on refining community benefit recommendations related to mobility, accessibility and physical design. In January and February, the group refined language to clarify roles and maintenance responsibilities, promote inclusive design and sustain community-driven processes while exploring best practices for urban design and environmental considerations. Members also addressed coordination among relevant jurisdictions to help ensure development discussions consider impacts on existing communities, particularly potential displacement risks for vulnerable communities near the project area. In March, the CBAG reviewed updated recommendations reflecting feedback from the previous two months and confirmed the last set of community benefits to be forwarded to the IBR Program for consideration. CBAG's final meeting will take place in May.  

Executive Steering Group (ESG)

The March IBR Executive Steering Group (ESG) meeting included Program updates, an overview of the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) public comment period and a highlight of what’s ahead for the IBR Program. IBR leadership recapped the Program's current funding sources and provided an update on the bridge permit process. This includes ongoing engagement with the U.S. Coast Guard and impacted river users as the Program moves forward with plans to submit an updated Navigation Impact Report this year before applying for a bridge permit in late 2025 or early 2026. The group also received an overview of public feedback received on the Draft SEIS, with top themes including topics on transportation, design, tolling and alternatives. The Final SEIS is expected to be complete in late 2025, followed by an amended Record of Decision (ROD), which will allow construction to begin along with continued design refinements and procurement planning.

What we've heard and how we're responding

Many people remain interested in how transit operations and maintenance will be funded.

Businesses are increasingly curious about upcoming opportunities to work with the IBR Program.

The public wants to know the status of the IBR Program’s federal funding.


Reporting


Updated through March 2025. 
Contracting and expenditure data is updated two times a year. The data takes longer to receive and compile and may not be available until after the reported timeframe. The program will continue to share accountability reports and develop additional reporting metrics.

The most recent updated finance reports provide information about the economic impact analysis, finance planning and risk assessment efforts completed for components included in the Modified Locally Preferred Alternative which were approved for further analysis in July 2022. Cost estimates and financial plans will continue to be updated as the program is refined.  

Current reports are listed to the right. For more information, visit our library.
