Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

The TIP is the short-range element of the LRTP. The TIP is a four-year program of project implementation. The TIP is incorporated into MDOT’s State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which addresses all the transportation needs of the State of Mississippi. The TIP must be financially constrained, meaning that the amount of funds programmed cannot exceed the anticipated amount of funding available. A new TIP is developed every two years through a cooperative effort of local leadership, state officials, transit operators, federal agencies, including participation by the general public.
