2007-2010 Transportation Improvement Program
(Approved July 31, 2006)

SPC Commissioners approved the 2007-2010 Transportation Improvement Program for Southwestern Pennsylvania at the July 31, 2006 regular meeting. The SPC TIP received required state and federal approvals and became effective October 1, 2006.

Federal regulations require the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC), as the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Pittsburgh Transportation Management Area, to develop and maintain a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP identifies the region’s highest priority transportation projects, develops a multi-year program of implementation, and identifies available federal and non-federal funding for the identified projects. The TIP covers a four-year period of investment and is updated every two years through a cooperative effort of local, state and federal agencies, including participation by the general public.

The 2007-2010 Transportation Improvement Program for Southwestern Pennsylvania (2007-2010 TIP) identifies the priority highway and transit improvements programmed for advancement from October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2010 (federal fiscal years 2007-2010). The 2007-2010 TIP specifies the priorities for the region and includes reasonable estimates of both available funds and anticipated project expenditures. Individual improvement projects must be included on the 2007-2010 TIP to become eligible for federal funding. Small-scale projects, in some cases, have not been identified individually, but have been grouped into representative line items based on the type of project.

Two SPC technical committees – the Transportation Technical Committee (TTC) and Transit Operators Committee (TOC) -- work cooperatively to develop the recommended program of projects. Staff representatives from SPC, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), the planning departments of each member county and the City of Pittsburgh, and the region's urban and rural transit operators actively participate in the development and ongoing maintenance of the TIP.
