The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is the Lexington Urbanized Area (Fayette and Jessamine Counties) agenda of Federal-Aid Highway Programs and surface transportation projects; to include Federal Transit Administration (FTA) transit programs and expenditures.

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2006-FY 2009 four-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is the result of a comprehensive and realistic appraisal of the transportation needs of the MPO area communities coupled with an analysis of resources available to finance these needs. The TIP is a tool for multi-jurisdictional communication and public information. It helps the transportation community and the general public track the use of local, state, and federal transportation funds.

The TIP also affects a regional transportation needs assessment and decision making process. Thus, the TIP assists MPO members, other transportation stakeholders, and planning organizations in establishing a transportation program that reflects the goals of the 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), the region's long-range transportation plan. The TIP corresponds to the Year 2030 Transportation Plan. The TIP is currently available from the Division of Planning Office, 10th Floor, Urban County Government Center, 200 E. Main St., Lexington, KY.

If you have any questions related to the TIP please contact Rob Hammons, Senior Planner at rhammons@lfucg.com or call 859-258-3165.
