The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a four-year work program that lists all regionally significant and federally funded transportation projects and services in the MPO planning area. The program includes projects for all modes of surface transportation including highways and streets, public transportation, bicycles and pedestrians. Any project included in the TIP must be consistent with, or be selected from an approved Long Range Transportation Plan. Additionally, the TIP must be fiscally constrained by estimated future revenues, or have funding mechanisms currently in place to pay for the anticipated work. Though the TIP is adopted only once every three or four years, it can be amended to account for changes in funding or project needs.
The FYs 2008-2011 TIP was adopted by the MPO Executive Board in August 2007. As adopted, the program provided more than $1 billion worth of projects for the greater Nashville region.
