Transportation Improvement Program

The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a list of transportation projects planned for the Charlottesville-Albemarle Study Area, drawn from the long-range Charlottesville-Albemarle Regional Transportation (CHART) Plan. The federal government requires regionally significant transportation projects in the urban study area which need federal funding and/or federal approval to be endorsed by the Metropolitan Planning Organization. Inclusion of projects in the CHART and the TIP indicates this endorsement.

Federal regulations require only that projects requiring federal funding and/or other federal approval appear in the TIP. In Charlottesville-Albemarle, state and locally funded projects are included for a more comprehensive document. Inclusion of these local and state funded projects indicates approval by the MPO but does not necessarily indicate endorsement of them by the individual local governments, nor does it indicate state endorsement of local projects.

Federal Fiscal Year 2007 Obligations

Obligations are commitments by the federal government to reimburse the state for the federal share of a project's eligible costs. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) prepare obligation charts that summarize the federal funds obligated in Federal Fiscal Year 2007 (FY07). These charts show the funding that was actually obligated each year, whereas the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) shows obligations that are planned.
