THE COUNTY’S TRANSPORTATION NETWORK
Transportation Improvement Program
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a four
year capital program that lists federally-funded projects,
regionally significant projects that are not federally
funded, other state-funded capital projects, public transit
projects, bicycle and pedestrian improvement projects,
Intelligent Transportation System improvements, and
freight-related improvements. It is required by federal
law in order to receive and spend federal transportation
dollars, but it is only authorization to seek funding - it is
neither a guarantee that funding will be available, nor is it
a final schedule of project implementation.
Projects on the TIP represent the consensus of state and
regional officials, who agree that these projects are the
most critical, near-term improvements to be pursued. It
is, however, fiscally constrained, which means that the
total cost of all TIP projects cannot exceed the amount of
federal and state funds the region expects to receive.
The TIP includes estimated project costs and schedules
by project phase. It covers a four-year period on the
federal fiscal year schedule of October 1 to September 30
and is administered by the Delaware Valley Regional
Planning Commission. For counties in Pennsylvania, it is
updated every other year. The most recent update is FY
2013. Once adopted, the TIP can be amended on a
monthly basis with an action of the DVRPC Board.
Montgomery County takes an active role in the
transportation planning process that culminates in the
production of the TIP.
Most TIP funding is administered by the U.S. Department
of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA).
Authorization for the release of those funds come from
federal transportation legislation which, as of this January
2013, is a two-year bill called MAP-21 (Moving Ahead
for Progress in the 21
st
Century). Actual dollars for this
come from the Highway Trust Fund, a repository of funds
collected by the 18.4 cents-per-gallon federal tax on
motor fuels. Additional funds are provided by the state,
local municipalities, and private developers.
