Short-Range Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a list of roadway and transit projects selected as priorities for funding by cities, county road commissions, transit agencies, and the Michigan Department of Transportation. The current TIP covers the period from FY 2008 through FY 2011. The projects found in the list have been selected  from the region's long-range transportation plan. The newest version of the plan is called Direction2035. The TIP is also a major part of the State Transportation Improvement Program. The current project list contains over 1,500 projects with an estimated cost of $4 billion  

The TIP is amended three times each year with new projects and deletion of old projects. Revised schedule for amending the TIP in FY 2011. It is regularly updated with relatively minor changes to approved projects. The most recently approved TIP can be found  here.

The most recent list of projects for FY 2010 and 2011 can be found in SEMCOG's searchable database. The database allows you to find approved projects or find out about projects currently under review. Querying the database is the most current source of project information. Search results show available project details, including a map of projects in the area, that can be viewed, printed, or downloaded.

SEMCOG continues to follow the critical issue of transportation funding and has prepared several background papers. More information on the resources can be found here.
