Draft 2025-2030 Transportation Improvement Program
What is the Transportation Improvement Program?
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is the 5-year capital program of federally-funded transportation projects for the Capital Region. As required by Federal law, the Transportation Council must develop a TIP in cooperation with NYSDOT, CDTA, local governments, and other regional partners. The TIP funds projects and programs that support priorities established in the New Visions 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan for the Capital Region. The TIP is updated every three years and its projects are incorporated into the Statewide TIP (STIP). The TIP will begin on October 1, 2025 and will run through September 30, 2030.
