The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a financial and implementation schedule for projects receiving federal transportation funding in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Projects
identified in the TIP are prioritized from, and must be consistent with, the region's 20-year Long-Range Transportation Plan. The TIP consists of a four-year program: the current year plus the
next three consecutive years. Each year the TIP is modified by adding a new fourth year and advancing the first of its future years to current status. While the projects in the TIP are shown
for a four-year time period, the emphasis is on the first three years. Presenting a four-year span allows for a more systematic forecast of funding needs during a four-year planning cycle,
and provides a more comprehensive view of the program for public information purposes.
