The TIP is a prerequisite for federal assistance to finance and implement eligible surface transportation projects in a metropolitan planning area.  The proposed TIP identifies an estimated $71.5 million in transportation projects for highways, bridges, and public transit improvements over the next four years in Brooke and Hancock counties, WV and Jefferson County, OH.  Federal transportation legislation requires the TIP to include: (1) a fiscal constraint analysis, (2) a list of projects that cover a period no less than four years, (3) conformity to all applicable air quality standards.  In addition, the TIP development process must be consistent with the metropolitan area’s Public Participation Plan as well as the area’s twenty-year Long Range Transportation Plan, and (4) all capital and non-capital federally funded projects (and project phases) scheduled for implementation within the MPO boundaries.  The fourth component also includes all regionally significant projects requiring action by the Federal Highway Administration and/or the Federal Transit Administration irrespective of either federal or non-federal funding sources.
