CAMPO Transportation Improvement Program

As a recipient of federal funds, CAMPO is required to maintain a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).  The TIP is a short range plan that covers a five-year period and is developed for the purpose of implementing the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The TIP time frame follows the Indiana state fiscal year (July 1^st to June 30^th).  The TIP includes local projects sponsored by the City of Columbus and Bartholomew County, as well as Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) projects for state and federal roads that take place within Bartholomew County.  The projects listed in the first four years are programmed and funded.  The fifth year projects are considered illustrative and are expected to be programmed and funded in the next TIP update. The TIP lists all local transportation projects that use federal transportation dollars as well as transportation projects of regional significance, regardless of funding source.  Although a complete TIP update takes place every two years, the document is amended on a continual basis.  Amendments include adding new CAMPO and INDOT projects, and changes in the timing, scope and cost of projects.  The TIP serves several specific purposes, including (1) the implementation of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, (2) providing transportation project information to the public, (3) establishing a clear, coordinated schedule for transportation projects and their funding, and (4) providing an overview of project costs.
