TPO staff is issuing a call for projects for federally funded transportation projects that sponsors would like to have considered for inclusion in the FY 2020-2023 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

TPO staff has identified an un-obligated local Surface Transportation Block Grant (L-STBG) federal fund balance of approximately $60 million in FY 2020 available to program projects rolled over from the current TIP, cover funding shortfalls in rollover projects, and fund new projects. Fiscal years 2021 through 2023 are projected to have an additional $12.4 million available annually.

The Transportation Improvement Program is updated on a three-year cycle and covers a period of four years. Therefore, the current FY 2017-2020 TIP will transition to a new FY 2020-2023 TIP. This update allows jurisdictions to apply for new projects, or roll over and update unobligated phases of projects currently programmed in the FY 2017-2020 TIP.

Applications are due by 4:00 p.m. EST on March 1, 2019.
