Improvement Program
Planning for a better future
What is the TIP?
The Transportation Improvement Program is a document prepared by the Polk Transportation Planning Organization, listing all cost-feasible projects scheduled for a five-year period that correspond to the Long Range Transportation Plan.
These projects are programmed by the Florida Department of Transportation and are consistent with the Polk TPO’s adopted Long Range Transportation Plan and priority transportation projects. The TIP includes all transportation projects within Polk TPO’s planning area boundary funded by Title 23 and Title 49 funds, as well as all regionally-significant transportation projects requiring federal action. It covers all modes of transportation, including locally funded and managed projects, as well as regionally-significant projects regardless of the funding source, which may be capital or non-capital projects.
Current TIP
TIP Structure
Includes state and local transportation projects related to aviation, pedestrian/bicycle, turnpike, highways, transit, maintenance, intermodal and rail. Each section includes a detailed list of projects specific to that transportation mode or area.
Annual Updates and Amendments
The TIP is developed through a continuing, comprehensive and cooperative (3C) effort involving state and local agencies, including public transit agencies, with responsibility for planning, constructing, operating and maintaining public transportation infrastructure, services and programs. The document is maintained throughout the year to ensure projects remain eligible for federal funding.
