Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
A Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a short-term plan that outlines specific transportation projects and funding proposals within a region, typically over a four-year period. Created by local planning agencies, it details projects like road repairs, public transit upgrades, and bike path additions. The TIP helps prioritize transportation needs, ensuring that projects align with broader goals for safety, efficiency, and community development. It is subject to public input and must be consistent with long-term regional plans, ensuring that the area's transportation investments are coordinated and well-planned.
