The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a priority listing of all federally funded transportation projects programmed for implementation during a five-year (FFY) period. The TIP is consistent with the goals and objectives defined in the long-range Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The federal fiscal year (FFY) runs from October 1 through September 30.
This region's TIP is developed cooperatively using a defined process by a team led by the GBNRTC staff and NYSDOT Region 5 staff. All TIP modifications must follow approved guidelines, defined by the type and extent of change, and be approved by the appropriate governing body.
The GBNRTC TIP is updated every three years to reflect those projects of highest priority based on need, local desires, long-range plan conformity and funding availability. The federal regulations for developing and maintaining the TIP can be found in 23 CFR 450 Subpart C Sections 300 to 340, 23 CFR Appendix A to Part 450 and 40 CFR Section 93.127.
The current TIP covers the period from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2027 (FFY 2023-2027) and includes highway, transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and demand management and air quality projects, as well as studies and programs within the Greater Buffalo-Niagara Region.
Public involvement in the development and maintenance of the TIP is both continuous and extensive. Please reference our approved Public Participation Plan for more details.
