Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)

The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is a long-range plan which includes a balanced mix of projects such as bridges, bicycle paths, sidewalks, transit services, new and upgraded roadways, safety improvements, transportation demand management initiatives and emission reduction strategies. By federal law, the RTP must cover a minimum planning horizon of 20 years and be updated every four years in areas which do not meet federal air quality standards.

Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) allocates federal funds for use in construction of the highest priority transportation projects in the near term of the RTP. The TIP must be consistent with the long-range objectives of the RTP and must be financially balanced.
