The MTP, which is 44 required by Federal law, recommends major transportation projects, policies and strategies 45 designed to maintain existing transportation systems and serve the region's future travel needs. 46 The Plan must be fiscally constrained, which means that projected revenues must cover the 47 anticipated costs. Projects must be in the 2045 MTP to receive any state and federal 48 transportation funding through the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Projects 49 are drawn from the MTP and put forward to the State's prioritization process for inclusion in the 50 STIP, which is a 10-year funding program.
