In the TIP, the MPO identifies the transportation projects and strategies from the MTP that it plans to undertake over the next four years. All projects receiving federal funding must be in the TIP. The TIP is the region's way of allocating its limited transportation resources among the various capital and operating needs of the area, based on a clear set of short-term transportation priorities.
Under federal law, the TIP:
Covers a minimum four-year period of investment
Updated at least every four years
Realistic in terms of available funding and is not just a "wish list" of projects. This concept is known as fiscal constraint
Conforms with the SIP for air quality in non-attainment and maintenance areas
Is approved by the MPO and the governor
Is incorporated directly, without change, into the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
