Planning, design and construction of major transportation capital investment projects, such as major highway relocations and transit service expansions, are costly and time-consuming. Even relatively minor improvements require substantial investment of time and resources. In order to implement transportation projects in a systematic manner, the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) was developed. The TIP is a comprehensive listing of transportation improvements scheduled for implementation with federal or state funds within the next four years (Fiscal Years (FY) 2002-2005). The development of the TIP is the responsibility of AMATS' Policy Committee, the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Summit and Portage Counties and the Chippewa Township area of Wayne County. The TIP is important because no federally funded transportation project can be implemented unless it appears in the four years of the TIP. Because of this provision, the AMATS Policy Committee has considerable control on the use of federal transportation funds in the AMATS study area.
