SOUTH JERSEY TRANSPORTATION PLANNING ORGANIZATION

TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

FISCAL YEARS 2010-2013 - Approved June 22, 2009

FISCAL YEARS 2009-2012 - Approved July 28, 2008

The TIP is a list of projects and programs scheduled to be implemented over a period of at least four years.  Transportation projects must be included in the TIP to receive most types of federal funding.  The TIP provides a mechanism for locally elected officials and agency staff to review the region's capital programming.  It represents a consensus among MPO members and other major transportation interests in the region as to what improvements should have priority for available funds.  

Once a four year TIP is adopted by the SJTPO Policy Board and approved by the Governor, and the State TIP is approval by the federal government, there are certain procedures established for making any changes to the TIP.  These procedures are outlined in a joint Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the SJTPO, NJDOT, and NJ Transit.
