Transportation Improvement Program - MORPC

Through our Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), residents and communities can see what transportation projects in their area are receiving funding during the next four years. It includes a listing of the projects and programs, as well as the specific funding sources we have committed to each of them. All projects receiving federal funding are included in the TIP. The TIP prioritizes the actions that will help us achieve performance targets established in our Metropolitan Transportation Plan.

MORPC is in the process of developing its SFY 2021-2024 TIP. The first draft is now available for review.

Changes to the TIP

Schedules and cost estimates for large construction projects change constantly, and transportation projects are no exception. Sometimes new projects emerge as opportunity arises. We don’t have to modify the TIP for every change to every project. However, we do have modify it for some significant changes so that projects can proceed toward construction. For these situations, we have adopted these resolutions to amend the TIP:

Administrative Modification – July 2018

Annual Federal Obligation Listings

To improve the transparency of the expenditure of federal transportation funds, we release a report listing funding obligated for every fiscal year. The obligation is the federal government’s legal commitment to pay the federal share of a project’s cost. The obligated funds are attributable to entire projects, including those portions located outside of our planning area. The reports provide technical information in a format understandable by anyone interested in surface transportation improvement, and it includes the federal amount listed in the TIP or subsequent TIP amendments.
