TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM The TIP is a five year program that identifies all proposed federally-funded transportation improvement projects in the NYMTC region. These improvements cover various transportation modes and facilities, including roadways and bridges, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, transit equipment and services, safety improvements and demand management programs. Projects funded through other sources are also identified to provide a more comprehensive picture of proposed transportation improvements in the region. The 2008-2012 TIP was adopted by the Council on October 29, 2007 and approved by the federal agencies. On December 10, 2007. This 5-year program runs from October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2012. Currently, NYMTC is operating from the 4th year of this program (FFY 2011) and the first year of the current NYS Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
Transportation improvements identified in the TIP listings are based on both the NYMTC members’ proposals and a region-wide public solicitation of proposed transportation improvements which were approved as of November 18, 2010. Preliminary project lists of transportation improvements for the 2011-2015 TIP are being developed by the TCCs, and are anticipated to be approved by late Spring of 2011. NYMTC will compile these listings into a regional draft 2011-2015 TIP document. Whenever NYMTC updates or revises its TIP or Regional Transportation Plan, the demonstration of conformity with air quality budgets at certain milestone dates is produced as required under the Clean Air Act. The current TIP and Conformity Determination are available on this website. http://www.nymtc.org/project/conformity/conformity.html
