Projects Proposed To Be Added To Transportation Improvement Program

SRTC is seeking public comment on a proposed amendment to the 2013-2016 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is a programming document that identifies specific projects proposed to be undertaken or constructed during the upcoming four years. The TIP includes project names and descriptions, the jurisdiction sponsoring them, funding attached to each project and where the funding came from (local, state or federal funds).

The proposed amendment includes adding projects to the TIP that have recently received federal funding through the Safe Routes to School program (SRTS) and the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The following jurisdictions and projects are proposed to be added to the TIP. You can find more information, project details and how to comment on the proposal, by clicking here.
