About TIP

The TIP is a three to five year program that identifies all proposed federally funded transportation improvement projects in the NYMTC region. These improvements cover various transportation modes and facilities, including roadways and bridges, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, transit equipment and services, safety improvements and demand management programs. Projects funded through other sources are also identified to provide a more comprehensive picture of proposed transportation improvements in the region.

The current 2004-2006 Transportation Improvement Program runs from October 1, 2003 to September 31, 2005. This program identifies over $18 billion in transportation improvements. 

The proposed 2006-2010 Transportation Improvement Program has been developed by the NYMTC members. This 5-year program runs from October 1, 2005 through September 30, 2010. This proposed TIP identifies over $31 billion in transportation improvements.

Transportation improvements identified in the TIP are based on both the members’ proposals and a region-wide public solicitation of proposed transportation improvements which was completed in the Spring of 2004. The improvement proposals from this solicitation were then evaluated based on their relevance to the Regional Transportation Plan and to the criteria of the relevant Federal funding programs.

Preliminary project lists of transportation improvements for the 2006-2010 TIP were developed in the Fall of 2004. These lists were then brought to the public for a 30-day review and comment period which ended in February 2005. The listings were then forwarded to NYMTC for inclusion into the regional Draft 2006-2010 TIP document.

Current TIP can be viewed in the reports section and previous TIPs and updates are available on the NYMTC website.
