FY 2020-2023 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

Note: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Tennessee Division and Federal Transit Authority (FTA) Region IV Office, jointly approved the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which incorporates the Memphis MPO's TIP, on June 21, 2023.  The Memphis MPO's FY 2023-26 has been amended into MDOT's FY 2023-26 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for Mississippi, which was approved by Federal Administration (FHWA) Mississippi Division on February 2, 2023.  

Please reference the FY 2023-26 TIP Page for additional information. 

The TIP is a four-year, fiscally constrained, short-range program, which provides a prioritized list of multimodal transportation projects (including road, resurfacing, signalization, bridge, bicycle & pedestrian, transit, and safety) within the Metropolitan Planning Area. Its cooperatively developed every four-years and approved by the MPO Board and the Governors of Tennessee and Mississippi. The TIP provides an overview of how transportation revenues will be invested over a four-year period by state and local agencies that have legal responsibility to build, operate, and maintain that state's highway, street, and public transit systems. In order to be included in the TIP, these projects must have available funding.

Preparation of the TIP is required by the federal legislation known as Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) and by the Metropolitan Planning Regulations (23 CFR 450.324) of the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). Federal regulations require the Memphis MPO's transportation planning activities, including the development of the TIP, to be carried out in a Continuing, Cooperative and Comprehensive manner (the "3-C" approach).
