Transportation Improvement PROGRAM (TIP)
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a 10-year federally mandated work program that identifies construction funding and scheduling of transportation projects within the MPO and state. The TIP is fiscally constrained and adopted every two years but can be amended as needed. The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) contains all of the transportation projects in the state and must be consistent with the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP), which is all of the transportation projects within the MPO region. All projects in the MTIP are also in the STIP and must be consistent and match with the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP).
