Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

The Permian Basin MPO, working cooperatively with its member agencies, develops a work program of transportation projects known as the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP lists projects developed through a cooperative, comprehensive, and continuing transportation planning process. The projects identified in the TIP must have a funding source and be listed in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The TIP is a short-range planning document that lists the transportation projects of the two cities, three counties, MOUTD, and the TxDOT Odessa District.

 

The purposes of the TIP include:

​

• To identify improvements recommended for advancement during the four- year period;

• To identify transportation improvement priorities for both highway and transit facilities and operations;

• To provide realistic estimates of total costs and identified revenues for the program period; and

• To reflect a cooperative, comprehensive, and continuing transportation planning process.

 

​

Funding for transportation improvements comes from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), TxDOT, and local entities.
