Within metropolitan areas across the country, regional transportation projects are tracked through Transportation Improvement Programs. The Transportation Improvement Program, or TIP, is a staged, multi-year program of projects approved for funding by federal, state, and local sources within the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. The TIP contains projects with committed funds. Project listings are financially constrained to available resources. Every two years, the North Central Texas Council of Governments, in cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation, local governments, and transportation agencies, develops a new TIP.
The Revenue and Project Tracking System, or RAPTS, is designed to help track TIP projects and allow stakeholders to see where projects will be located and get more information.
Within RAPTS, you can filter the TIP projects shown based on the definitions below:
- Current TIP: Project has at least one phase of funding within the 4-year window of the current TIP.
- Construction: Project is in the construction, implementation, or transfer phase and has not yet been completed.
- Active Projects: Project has active funding for at least one phase and is not completed.
- Recently Completed: Project has been completed in the past 5 years.
- Whole TIP Database: All projects in NCTCOG’s TIP database since 1992 Call for Projects. Earliest projects date back to the expansion of MPO project programming authority granted by ISTEA.
