'20 - '24 Transportation Improvement Program
'20 - '24 Transportation Improvement Program
As a condition for receipt of transportation funding, the federal government requires that the metropolitan transportation planning process include the cooperative development of a Transportation Improvement Program, or TIP. The TIP identifies the timing and funding of all capital and non-capital highway, bridge, transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and other surface transportation projects scheduled for implementation in a given region using federal transportation funds.
The TIP must cover at least a four-year period. It must be consistent with the goals and objectives identified in the current Long Range Transportation Plan for the region, and adopted by the local MPO; in this region, GTC.
GTC is the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Genesee-Finger Lakes Region. USDOT requires every metropolitan area with a population over 50,000 to have a designated MPO to quality for receipt of federal highway and transit funds. The GTC TIP Area is comprised of the following seven counties: Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Wayne, and Wyoming. The Rochester MPA includes all of Monroe County, plus the adjacent developed areas of Ontario, Livingston, and Wayne Counties.
The TIP must also be fiscally constrained. That is, the total amount of funds programmed in the TIP must not exceed the projected total amount of funds reasonably expected to be available to the region for that period. GTC staff worked with the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation Authority (RGRTA) to develop the projections of reasonably expected federal revenues to the region for the time period covered in the TIP.
The 2020-2024 TIP Update includes approximately $400 million of new and rollover federal transportation funding allocated to the TIP Area (i.e., the Regional Allocation) for projects to be undertaken between October 1, 2019 and September 30, 2024. This Region’s TIP is developed cooperatively by GTC and the New York State Department of Transportation.
The United States Department of Transportation requires that the metropolitan transportation planning process include the cooperative development of a TIP – a staged, multi-year program of projects. The TIP identifies the timing and funding of all highway, bridge, transit, transportation system management and operations, bicycle, and pedestrian projects scheduled for implementation in the region using federal transportation funds.
The 2020-2024 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) was approved by the GTC Board in June 2019.
The next update will begin in Fall 2021 and be presented to the Board in June 2022.
