Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

What is the TIP?

The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a compilation of significant surface transportation improvements scheduled for implementation in the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area during the next four fiscal years. The fiscal year (FY) begins October 1st and ends September 30th of the following year. The TIP provides a staged, multiyear, intermodal program of transportation projects, which is consistent with the most current Metro COG Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP).

Metro COG, as part of the metropolitan area’s comprehensive, coordinated, and continuous transportation planning process (3-C process), develops the TIP annually. It is also developed in cooperation with the multiple Metro COG planning partners; the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), the North Dakota of Department of Transportation (NDDOT), Metro Area Transit (MATBUS) of Fargo-Moorhead, local municipal and county jurisdictions, and other organizations and agencies eligible for project sponsorship.
