The TIP covers a time period of four years and must be updated every two years. This is a financially constrained plan, which means funding has been identified for the projects in the plan. In 2017, the MPO issued a call for new projects to be included in the TIP. Approximately $150 million in Surface Transportation Program Metropolitan Mobility (STP-MM) funds, or MPO funds, are available for this project call. Fortyeight transportation projects were submitted totaling about $463 million. Of these 48 projects, eight were strictly bicycle & pedestrian projects, totaling about $38 million. There were also bicycle and pedestrian components included in added capacity and operational projects, which total about $19 million. Alex Carroll will present on the bicycle and pedestrian projects, technical scoring, and TIP outreach process. Action Requested For information and discussion only.
