Administrative Modification #1- 08/17/11
TIP Amendment#1-9/13/11
In the TIP, the MPO identifies the transportation
projects and strategies from the Metropolitan
Transportation Plan 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;
- Is updated at least every four years;
- Is realistic in terms of available funding and
is not just a "wish list" of projects. This concept
is known as fiscal constraint;
- Is approved by the MPO and governor; and
- Is incorporated directly, without change, into
the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program
(STIP).
