Transportation Improvement Program

The Charlottesville-Albemarle Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a document used to schedule spending of federal transportation funds within the metropolitan region, in coordination with significant state and local funds, for the federal fiscal years 2012 through 2015. The TIP is a prioritized listing/program of transportation projects that is developed and formally adopted by the Charlottesville-Albemarle Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) as part of the metropolitan transportation planning process.

The fiscal years spanned by the FY2012-2015 TIP begins on October 1, 2011 and is applicable until September 30, 2015. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is a primary sponsor for many of the projects. Activities listed for Charlottesville Area Transit and JAUNT are projects and programs sponsored by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) over the coming four-year period.

The projects that are currently listed in the FY2012-2015 TIP are the projects from the FY 2009-2012 TIP that have not yet been closed out, and new projects for which federal funding is expected. It represents projects from the most recently adopted Long Range Transportation Plan, UnJAM 2035. 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.

TIP Amendment

On July 27th 2011 the MPO Policy Board voted to amend the FY09 to FY12 TIP*. The final signed resolution for this amendment can be reviewed by clicking the link below. Also below is a link to the pages in the TIP that have been amended.

*The FY09 to FY12 TIP is being amended because the FY12 to FY15 Transportation Improvement Program has not yet been approved by the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA). Once this TIP is approved this amendment will be added to the FY12 to FY15 TIP as an adjustment.
