French Broad River MPO

The Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a detailed list of transportation projects that have federal and state funding. The Metropolitan TIP must be developed in coordination with the State and any affected public transportation operator, approved by the Governor, and incorporated into the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The Metropolitan TIP includes funding information and the anticipated schedule for highway, public transit, rail, bicycle, and pedestrian projects. The TIP must be updated at least every four years per federal regulations and must match the STIP in order for projects to receive funding.

The French Broad River MPO's 2012-2020 TIP is now official.  The TAC adopted the TIP at their October 27, 2011 meeting.
