Transportation Improvement Program
The BHJ Transportation Improvement Program, or TIP, is the four-year transportation planning document for the Brooke-Hancock-Jefferson Metropolitan Planning Area. It represents a fiscally-balanced, multimodal transportation program of federally-funded and regionally-significant state-funded projects scheduled for some phase of implementation in the next four years between Fiscal Years 2026 through 2029 for the three-county area. The TIP is also a reference document required by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for approving federal funds for transportation projects in Brooke and Hancock counties, WV and Jefferson County, OH.
The Brooke-Hancock-Jefferson Metropolitan Planning Organization creates the TIP in cooperation and coordination with the Ohio and West Virginia Departments of Transportation and local public operators, the Steel Valley Regional Transit Authority in Steubenville, OH and the Weirton Transit Corporation in Weirton, WV.
Updated in its entirety every two years, BHJ may amend the TIP by adding or deleting a project or a project phase, significantly change a project’s description or scope, or revising a project’s phase cost estimate over the thresholds noted in the tables below. All amendments are major revisions to the TIP that require adoption by the BHJ Transportation Policy Committee and federal approval, as well as public review and comment, re-demonstration of fiscal constraint, or a conformity demonstration.
BHJ may also make Administrative Modifications to the TIP that do not require public review and comment, re-demonstration of fiscal constraint, or a conformity demonstration. Examples of Administrative Modifications are minor changes that may revise a project description without causing a significant change to the project’s scope, revise a project’s fiscal year, change the funding source (between federal, state, and local funds) by phase on a listed project, or split or combine individually listed projects in the current TIP without a significant change to the project’s scope.
Below is the currently adopted 2026-2029 TIP document that went into affect on July 1, 2025. Please direct all comments to: Cody Cresap, Transportation Planner, ccresap@bhjmpc.org.
