Regional Transportation Planning

Metropolitan Transportation Plan – A new Metropolitan Transportation Plan is produced every four years. All highway, transit, bikeway and pedestrian projects must be on the transportation plan to be implemented with federal funds.

Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) - MORPC manages the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), a four-year schedule of highway, bikeway and mass transit projects. The current TIP is for state fiscal years 2008-2011 with projects proposed for construction from July 2007 through June 2011. Projects must be included in the TIP to be eligible for federal funding.

Environmental Planning – MORPC ensures that the projects in the Regional Transportation Plan and TIP maintain air quality standards. This process is called conformity determination. The air quality documentation for the TIP FY 2008-2011 and the 2030 T-Plan provide more details for the most recent conformity determination.

Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) - MORPC’s Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) program helps central Ohio communities coordinate transportation technology projects across jurisdictions (e.g. traffic signal systems).
