Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

What is a Transportation Improvement Program?

A Transportation Improvement Program (or TIP) is a comprehensive four-year program of regional transportation investments of all types: maintenance and preservation of existing roads, construction of new roads, public transit improvements, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, bridge replacement projects, etc. These projects come from cities, towns, and agencies throughout Spokane County. All transportation projects that are regionally significant or receiving federal funding are required to be included the TIP. SRTC updates the TIP annually and after it is approved it becomes part of the Washington State Transportation Improvement Program.

    Key purposes of the TIP are to:

    • Demonstrate fiscal constraint for the projects contained in the plan (meaning there is adequate funding available for the planned projects).
    • Demonstrate that the projects meet conformity with state air quality standards (projects aim to improve air quality or maintain it).
    • Identify other planned transportation projects adopted in local six-year TIPs (bring together projects from the local level into one, 4-year program).

    TIP Amendments

    The TIP is amended throughout the year from January to October—typically on a monthly basis, as project sponsors submit requests to add, modify, or delete projects from the TIP. Each proposed amendment goes through a 10-day public comment period, is reviewed by both the Transportation Technical Committee and Transportation Advisory Committee, with the final decision to approve (or deny) the amendment made by the Board of Directors.
