2021-2024 Transportation Improvement Program
2021-2024 Transportation Improvement Program
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is the regionally agreed-upon list of priority transportation projects to be implemented over a four-year period, as required by federal law (most recently the FAST Act). The TIP document must list all projects that intend to use federal funds, along with all non-federally funded projects that are regionally significant such as those funded by Turnpike revenues. The projects are multi-modal; that is, they include bicycle, pedestrian, ITS, and freight related projects, as well as the more traditional highway and public transit projects.
TIP Revisons
There are two types of changes that are processed to adjust the content of the Transportation Improvement Program; Administrative Adjustments and Amendments.
Administrative Adjustments
The intent of the Administrative Adjustment (also known as Minor Revisions) process is to allow, where suitable, relatively small changes to be made to projects in an expedited fashion based on established thresholds. The administrative modification option is available for projects at the discretion of the MPO, which may instead opt for the formal amendment process. Unlike in the case of full amendments, the MPO may delegate the approval of modifications to a person or subcommittee and for the RPC, the Executive Director is provided with the authority to approve Administrative Modifications and to determine when such changes should instead be elevated to full Amendment Status. TIP Administrative Adjustments can be found on the RPC website here: www.therpc.org/TIPrevisions
Amendments
Amendments are intended to address major changes to project scopes or costs or that affect air quality conformity. The amendment process also provides an opportunity to process all administrative modifications and information only changes that may have been approved since the previous amendment. Amendments require, at a minimum, a 10-day public comment period, a conformity determination, and subsequent approvals, but may also require a review or update to the air quality analysis. The timeframe to process amendments is likely to be three (3) or more months depending upon the complexity of the changes and the level to which air quality conformity must be considered. To the extent possible, amendments to the TIP will be grouped with other amendments to the State Transportaton Improvement Program (STIP) and processed on a quarterly basis. Further information regarding TIP Amendments can be found on the RPC website here: www.therpc.org/TIPAmendments
