The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) funds an estimated 85% of all the transportation improvements in the Anchorage and Chugiak/Eagle River areas. The funding is primarily from the US Department of Transportation, not local property taxes. The TIP is the leading program that implements the Anchorage and Eagle River Long-Range Transportation Plans. Projects like the reconstruction of Arctic Blvd, Business Blvd, C Street, Glenn Highway, Chester Creek Trail, new People Mover buses, and the Plug-it-In campaign are some recent examples.
Similar to the local Capital Improvement Program, the TIP prioritizes and describes the capital projects to be completed in the coming years. All stages of a priority project are shown as to when and how much funding is programmed to complete it. The TIP is developed at least once every two years in coordination with other capital improvement programs like the Municipality’s CIP, and the Statewide Transportation Improvement program for example.
The planning and prioritization for federally funded transportation projects is coordinated at the local level through the Anchorage Metropolitan Area Transportation Solutions (AMATS) process. AMATS is a continuing, comprehensive and cooperative work effort between the Municipality of Anchorage and the State of Alaska. Transportation plans or programs that require federal funds, or review by federal agencies, must be coordinated with AMATS.
The TIP is financially constrained by year and includes a financial plan that demonstrates which projects can be implemented using current revenue sources and which projects are to be implemented using proposed revenue sources. Only projects for which funds are reasonably expected to be available can be included in the TIP. It is not a "wish list" program.
The Municipality of Anchorage's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) process is used to satisfy the public participation process of the Program of Projects (POP) that is requried in U.S.C. Section 5307. The POP as presented is the proposed Program of Projects and will also be the final Program of Projects unless amended.
