2009-2015 Transportation Improvement Program

MUMPO approved the 2009-2015 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) on May 21, 2008. The MPO also made a finding that the TIP conforms to the purpose of the North Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP) in accordance with the Clean Air Act as Amended (CAAA) and the SAFETEA-LU.

There is one outstanding issue requiring a decision by the MPO. NCDOT has recommended that improvements to NC 218 (from I-485 to Polkton) be funded using excess funds from TIP project U-2507A (Graham St. Extension/Mallard Creek Road Realignment). A decision on this recommendation is expected in July 2008.

Listed below is MUMPO’s TIP, along with a list of changes between the original draft TIP when it was released in November 2007 and the final version adopted by the MPO.

As a part of the adoption of the TIP, MUMPO approved the funding of the following projects in FY 2014 and FY 2015 using its Surface Transportation Program-Direct Attributable (STP-DA) funds.
