Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
The United States Department of Transportation requires that the metropolitan transportation planning process include the cooperative development of a TIP – a staged, multi-year program of projects. The TIP identifies the timing and funding of all highway, bridge, transit, intelligent transportation system, bicycle, and pedestrian transportation projects scheduled for implementation in the region during the next five years using federal transportation funds.
The 2011-2014 TIP includes transportation projects funded with approximately $560 million of federal aid, supplemented by other state and local sources of funds. This region’s TIP is developed cooperatively by GTC and the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT).
GTC and NYSDOT typically conduct a complete update of the TIP every two years. The previous TIP was adopted in 2007. The 2011-2014 TIP includes the last two years of the 2007-2012 TIP (October 2010 through September 2012) plus two additional years (October 2012 through September 2014).
The TIP must be flexible enough to allow for new or changing priorities, adjustments to project scopes, schedules, and/or costs, and inclusion of new funding to the region. This flexibility is provided primarily through TIP amendments.
Due to the lack of certainty resulting from the absence of a new surface transportation authorization, federal transportation funds for Federal Fiscal Years (FFYs) 2012 through 2014 are projected to be approximately $130 million (or 40 percent) less than the amounts used to develop the 2011-2014 TIP.
On December 8, 2011 the GTC Board revised Federal Fiscal Years (FFYs) 2012 through 2014 of the 2011-2014 TIP. This revision maintains fiscal constraint and will ensure that there are sufficient federal funds to reimburse agencies for their projects included in the 2011-2014 TIP.
The Revised 2011-2014 TIP (FFY 2012 through FFY 2014) is available for download below in PDF:

The GTC TIP Procedures Manual was developed to document the process used to develop and manage the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

The GTC TIP Management Enhancement Study was conducted for the purpose of establishing a comprehensive framework to better manage the development and delivery of TIP projects. The Final Report contains the results in brief and the study recommendations.
