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.
