About the TIP

The BMCMPO Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a federally required, capital investment plan created by the Bloomington-Monroe County Metropolitan Planning Organization (BMCMPO) to guide and track the distribution and use of federal funding for multimodal transportation projects, in BMCMPO's metropolitan planning area (MPA), across a five-year period. Federal funding come from the Indiana Department of Transportation, the Federal Transit Administration and the Federal Highway Administration. The TIP documents federal-aid projects programmed and scheduled for phased completion in specific fiscal years along with state/local matching funding commitments. The creation of the TIP achieved guidance from various plans created by the local public agencies and by the MPO's Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). 

The projects in the TIP represent current commitments by local government and transportation agencies in the Bloomington-Monroe County region. The TIP also includes state-led projects anticipated for the BMCMPO planning area during the four-year planning period. The BMCMPO sponsors public meetings to gather public input on the TIP prior a formal presentation to Policy Committee for voting and adoption. The BMCMPO develops a new TIP every two years thereby allowing the community to regularly reevaluate priorities for federal funding. All projects listed in each MPO's TIP are included in the Indiana Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), by reference. Other projects taking place with the MPA and receiving non-MPO federal funds (such as HSIP Special Call funds and Bridge funds), must also be listed in the TIP documents, Additionally, in order to receive funding from the Federal Transit Administration, transit projects within the MPA must be listed in the TIP documents. Transit projects typically involve planning studies, operational assistance, and capital acquisitions.
