The UCTC’s Transportation Improvement Program, or “TIP”, is a five-year fiscally constrained financial plan for implementing transportation improvements in Ulster County. One of the most important functions of an MPO is to work cooperatively with the State DOT when programming and administering all Federal dollars for transportation improvements. The purpose of this task is to facilitate the UCTC’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) update process in cooperation with NYSDOT, and public transit operators.

Every two years, the UCTC initiates a TIP update process to evaluate project priorities against the goals, objectives and recommendations of the Year 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan. A TIP Subcommittee has been established to (1) develop generic cost estimates for use by Ulster County municipalities planning to submit TIP applications; (2) evaluate and consider revising the UCTC’s TIP application format to address concerns regarding the application’s length and utility; (3) review and consider revising the TIP amendment process; (4) review and consider modifying the TIP project evaluation and project selection methodology; and (5) facilitate the TIP Subcommittee evaluation, scoring, ranking and recommendation of TIP project proposals to the UCTC voting members.
