The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is CAMPO’s planning document that details transportation improvement projects to begin construction or implementation in a four- year window.
Regional agencies such as TxDOT, Capital Metro, and the Capital Area Rural Transportation System (CARTS), as well as local governments, examine their anticipated projects for the four-year TIP cycle then submit those projects to CAMPO for inclusion in the TIP. Before a project can be listed in the TIP, it must be included in the long-range plan and funding must be available.
In accordance with federal regulations, all transportation
projects that use federal funding or are regionally significant must be included in the TIP before construction can begin.
The TIP is a multi-modal program that includes road, transit, bike, and pedestrian projects. The TIP can also include operational improvements, which are projects like electronic signs that alert motorists to lane closures, crashes and travel times.
