What is the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)?

The TIP is a prioritized, fiscally-constrained, multi-year list of federally-funded, multimodal transportation projects and operations in the MPO region • Must be fiscally-constrained

• Must cover at least 4-years

• Must be updated at least every 4 years

• Authorizes obligation of federal funds

How do Projects Get on the TIP?• The TIP is based on a continuing, comprehensive

transportation planning process carried out cooperatively by the State, the MPO, and transit operators

• Projects must have completed, or nearly completed, the planning process and be ready for design

• Projects must have funding

• In order to spend funds, projects must be listed in VTrans Capital Program
