If the long-range transportation plan is the blueprint showing where the region's transportation system will go over the next 20 years, the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is the tool for implementing the plan.

The TIP:

• Includes all federally funded projects and regionally significant, non-federally funded transportation projects to be implemented in NOACA's five counties over the next four fiscal years
• Budgets, prioritizes and schedules federal-aid highway, transit and transportation alternatives projects
• Assists the transportation community and the public track the use of state, local and federal transportation funds
• Accounts for the region's immediate transportation system expenditures
• Has a four-year time frame
• Is updated every two years by NOACA (and is amended quarterly by the Board of Directors)

TIP projects are proposed by local communities, county engineers, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), transit operators and other sponsors. Projects can range from road resurfacing and reconstruction to transit and bicycle facilities to traffic calming and traffic signal upgrade projects.

• State Fiscal Years (SFYs) 2018-2021 TIP 
• Plan and TIP Amendments:
  • Board-adopted Resolutions
  • Technical Amendments (as needed)
  • Proposed projects for amendment to the Transportation Plan and TIP (Project Planning Review)
• NOACA Funded Project Monitoring Report, a quarterly status report of transportation projects approved for NOACA funding in the current state fiscal year.
• Annual List of Obligated Highway and Transit Projects - State Fiscal Year 2019
• SFY 2018 Annual TIP Priority List

Funds Management Request Form

If you are requesting a proposed project for amendment to the NOACA TIP or a project currently programmed on the TIP to be modified, complete and submit this TIP Project Amendment and Modification Form.

NOACA will NO LONGER process project applications for NOACA-administered Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) or Transportation Alternative (TA) funds for amendment to the NOACA Long Range Transportation Plan (Plan) or Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) on a quarterly basis.

NOACA will amend the Plan annually for new projects and update the TIP with new projects every two years.

NOACA will only process proposed TIP amendments or projects eligible for concurrent Plan and TIP amendment as described Section IV of NOACA’s Regional Transportation Improvement Policy

NOACA will identify transportation system deficiencies and needs over the 20-year Plan by coordinating with transportation system owners and providers and using available system management tools and processes to review identified regional needs. Identified needs will be incorporated into the Plan in an optimum year to address the targeted deficiency. Once a need is on the Plan, staff will work with sponsors to develop complete projects that address the identified system need.
