The board voted to recommend the list of priority projects <br />adopted by the Board of County Commissioners for the 2007-2013 State Transportation <br />Improvement Program (STIP) for Orange County for the following reasons: <br />1. None of the projects is currently funded in the TIP and these are still top priorities; <br />and <br />2. Given the rescissions in federal funding to the states that has already caused <br />multiple delays in projects already programmed in the TIP, it is not likely that any <br />new projects will be funded in the 2009-2015 TIP. <br />
