The Transportation Improvement Program is a federally-mandated document maintained by the MPO Policy Board that lists all of the transportation projects which received federal funds.[1] The MPO updates this list every year and periodically through a series of amendments. The current TIP spans FY2009 through FY2012.
Purpose
Federal planning for improvements to transportation includes many layers of paperwork to track the status of the hundreds of projects planned for any one given MPO area. If new money becomes available, the changes must be reflected in an MPO’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Any change to the TIP must be accompanied by a public hearing.
Exceptions
Just because a project is listed in the TIP does not mean that the local MPO has endorsed it. For example, the Western Bypass remains in the TIP because approximately $47 million has been spent on the preliminary engineering and right-of-way phases of planning. It remains in the TIP because the previous allocations must be documented. Completed projects, such as the Downtown Transit Center, remain on the TIP until all allocated funds have been spent.
