The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is typically a recurring <br />two-year process: <br /> First year: Develop priority list of projects to request in TIP <br /> for BOCC approval. <br /> Second year: Recommend comments regarding draft TIP for <br /> BOCC approval to submit to NCDOT during <br /> the public comment period. <br />The OUTBoard assisted with the identification and prioritization of NCDOT <br />projects for rural (TARPO RPO) and metropolitan (DCHC MPO and BG <br />MPO) planning areas. In 2012 and 2013 there were revisions to federal <br />and state funding project prioritization laws that revised and extended the <br />typical recurring two-year TIP development process, including the <br />OUTBoard’s role. <br />23 <br />ReturntoAgenda
