The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a seven-year funding document for bicycle, pedestrian, highway, rail, and public transportation projects. Every two years, the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro (DCHC) Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) approves its Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP), and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) produces the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
Final STIP/MTIPThe State Board of Transportation approved the final 2009-2015 STIP in June 2008. DCHC MPO approved the final 2009-2015 MTIP in August 2008. The final 2009-2015 MTIP is the same as the final 2009-2015 STIP with the addition of “provide bicycle, pedestrian, and transit accommodations as appropriate” to the descriptions of several highway projects.

Regional Priority ListThe DCHC MPO developed a Regional Priority List for the FY 2009-2015 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The Regional Priority List provides guidance to the State and the MPO on the MTIP and STIP. The Regional Priority List was approved at the November 14, 2007 TAC meeting. The Regional Priority List consists of three separate lists by mode (bicycle/pedestrian, transit, highway).
Final Regional Priority List (57 KB)
The DCHC MPO used the approved Regional Priority List to develop lists of the top fifteen priority projects in Durham County and Orange County. Durham County and Orange County are in separate NCDOT funding divisions. These top fifteen lists were approved by the TAC on January 9, 2008. The top fifteen lists combine the three modes (bicycle/pedestrian, transit, highway).
Durham County, NCDOT Division 5, Top Fifteen Priority List (44 KB)
Orange County, NCDOT Division 7, Top Fifteen Priority List (54 KB)
Background on the Regional Priority List
The TAC released for public comment the following documents as the draft Regional Priority List on September 12, 2007. There was a public hearing on the draft Regional Priority List at the TAC meeting on October 10, 2007. The draft Regional Priority List was split into three sections by mode (Bicycle and Pedestrian, Highway, and Transit).
The draft list was created from local priority lists submitted by the DCHC MPO member jurisdictions. Projects from the local priority lists were evaluated and ranked using a technical ranking methodology (264 KB). |
