TPO staff says new TIP is active; region’s programmed projects total about $968 million
Summary
Staff reported the updated Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is effective Aug. 1; the programming lists about $968,000,000 in regional investments across local and TDOT projects, with new online project‑tracker tools and reserved funds for cost overruns.
TPO staff reported that the new TIP was approved by federal partners effective Aug. 1 and supersedes the prior TIP. "Top line takeaway is really close to 1000000000 dollars in total transportation investments regionally," Craig told the board, and staff provided a table showing $968,000,000 in individually listed projects and groupings.
Craig outlined the breakdown between local and TDOT projects, noting locally sponsored projects include roadway, transit, bike/pedestrian and ITS work; he also described programming balances within STBGL, TAP and Carbon Reduction funds and an unprogrammed STBGL balance of roughly $33,600,000. Staff said the TIP includes a programming reserve to address potential cost overruns.
Staff also demonstrated a new statewide online project tracker developed with TDOT and MPO partners, which allows users to view individual project pages, funding sources and interactive visualizations. Craig said local agencies will eventually be able to request project changes through the platform once local login functionality is enabled.
Board members asked clarifying questions and staff said PDFs and the project tracker link would be circulated to technical committees and local agency staff.
