The MTIP (Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program) is a rolling 4-year plan for how transportation funds will be spent in the region that is updated every two years. The 2010-2013 Plan is now in development and Metro is seeking comments.
The dust-up a few weeks ago about active transportation versus freight was part of this process, as JPACT was providing policy guidance for how to split the flexible funding portion of MTIP (only a few percent) between modes.
