The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a four-year work program of federally funded and regionally significant multimodal transportation projects within the Knoxville Urban Area.
The TIP must be fiscally constrained based on estimated revenues. Also, all projects in the TIP must be consistent with or selected from the current Metropolitan Transportation Plan, Mobility Plan 2045.
Fiscal Year 2023-2026 Transportation Improvement Program Development Update
The Knoxville Regional Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) Executive Board adopted the FY 2023-2026 TIP at their October 26, 2022 meeting. The adopted document and associated Air Quality Determination Report will undergo additional review by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Upon final federal approval, the FY 2023-2026 TIP will supersede the current FY 2020-2023 TIP as the operable programming document for applicable transportation projects and programs in the TPO Planning Area.
