REPORT
ABSTRACT: The preparation of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a
requirement in order to qualify the region for continuing eligibility for federal
highway and transit funding assistance. The TIP is a program of publicly funded
transportation improvements for the OKI region. Although OKI produces the TIP
on a biennial basis, each edition covers a period of four years. Along with an
overview of the transportation planning process through which projects are
generated, the TIP provides a list, by county, of all federally assisted highway and
transit improvements that are contemplated by municipal, county or state
governments or transit authorities.
