The TIPs contain four years of projects for MPO and CIRTPA member governments anticipate implementing using federal transportation dollars. The TIPs are the programming documents for all surface transportation projects that receive federal funds, including: street and highway, transit, rail, bicycle, and pedestrian projects in the MPO and CIRTPA Planning Area Boundaries. The MPO and CIRTPA updates the TIPs annually and at member governments’ request. The MPO and CIRTPA informs the public as to what member governments’ and participating agencies’ intentions are regarding these projects and the use of these federal dollars.
The MPO and CIRTPA will host the public input meeting using the open forum format to encourage the meeting attendees to express their views, to share their opinions, and to ask their questions regarding the proposed projects.
