Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

State FY 2008 - 2013

Projects in the TIP must come from an approved RTP and emerge from the Congestion Management Process identified therein; in this case the relevant document is the 2035 RTP.   The TIP must be consistent with other transportation plans and programs within the region, and it must show conformity with the Colorado State Implementation Plan for air quality. The NFRMPO must provide citizens, public agencies, and other interested parties an opportunity to review and comment on the projects identified in the TIP.

SAFETEA-LU requires that a TIP shall include:

• An “agreed to” list of projects and project segments to be carried out within each four-year period after the initial adoption of the TIP.

• A financial plan that demonstrates how the TIP can be implemented, indicates resources that are reasonably expected to be made available to carry out the plan, and recommends innovative financing techniques for projects and programs, including value capture, tolls, and congestion pricing.

• In air quality nonattainment and maintenance areas, the TIP shall give priority to timely implementation of TCMs contained in the applicable SIP in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s transportation conformity regulations.
