The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is developed to document road and transit projects that will be occuring in the near future within the NATS boundary. Click here to view the current TIP, which is valid for fiscal years 2008-2011.
A public hearing was held on February 19, 2010 to select projects for federal Surface Transportation funding for the 2011-2014 Transportation Improvement Program. Unlike other funding programs like transit, safety, congestion mitigation, and Safe Routes 2 School, local agencies in the Twin Cities area have to compete with one another for Surface Transportation funding.
The projects were selected (with public input) by the TwinCATS project selection committee made up of local and county road officials, using the following criteria: condition of the roads, traffic on the roads, project score (using the criteria prioritized by the public), and local funding contribution.
The draft project list developed from the meeting will be posted on this page for public comment in March 2010.
