Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a cooperatively developed four-year program outlining multimodal transportation improvements and services to be implemented within the Oklahoma City Area Regional Transportation Study (OCARTS) area.

Federal law requires that all Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) prepare a TIP for their designated region, in cooperation with the State and affected transit operators. The federal surface transportation law, known as the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users—or SAFETEA-LU—was signed into law on August 10, 2005. Metropolitan and statewide transportation improvement programs adopted after July 1, 2007 must be consistent with the planning provisions of SAFETEA-LU.

The OCARTS Area TIP is prepared annually by the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG) in its role as the MPO for transportation planning within the Central Oklahoma region. This document is prepared under the guidance of the Intermodal Transportation Technical and Policy Committees, and is submitted to the Governor, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) through the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT).
