// 2009 Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP)

The 2009 TIP addresses requirements under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA), the recently enacted surface transportation act.

• SLOCOG Approved 2009 Transportation Improvement Program
  
• The 2009 TIP covers four years of programming for fiscal years 2008-09 through 2011-2012.
  
• The 2009 TIP includes approximately 95 individual transportation projects and several lump-sum entries for certain program categories, such as state highway maintenance.
  
• The 2009 TIP includes committed federal, state, and local funding
  
• Public and Agency review (July 1-30) comments incorporated and approved by SLOCOG August 6, 2008.

 
The TIP is based on the current Regional Transportation Plan, Vision 2025.  Vision 2025 guides SLOCOG's programming decisions and presents a comprehensive roadmap to guide transportation investments over 20 years. The RTP establishes the financial foundation for how the Region invests in our transportation system by identifying how much money is available to address critical transportation needs and sets the policy on how this funding is to be spent on transportation needs. The RTP is updated every four years to reflect new planning priorities and changing projections of growth and travel demand, based on a realistic forecast of future revenues.
