Transportation Improvement Program
Federal and state regulations require the WWVMPO/SRTPO to develop a short-term Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for its metropolitan and regional study areas. Federal requirements call for a four-year, financially constrained list of projects, whereas Washington State regulations stipulate a six-year list of projects. In lieu of producing two separate documents, the combined Walla Walla Valley Metropolitan and Regional Transportation Improvement Program (M/RTIP) is a six-year programming document, which demonstrates financial constraint for federal funds throughout the first four years of the integrated financial plan.
Each year the WWVMPO/SRTPO prepares this document in cooperation with local jurisdictions, the public transportation agencies, and the Departments of Transportation in Washington (WSDOT) and Oregon (ODOT). In order to fulfill its federal and state requirements, the M/RTIP is required to:
The current M/RTIP has met all of these requirements and has been prepared and submitted in conformance with the regulations and guidelines issued by the FHWA and the FTA. The M/RTIP provides the public, elected officials, state and local staff, transit providers, tribes, and other interested parties the opportunity to review programmed projects for consistency with regional and local plans, goals, and policies.
