Transportation Improvement Program (Commonly referred to as the TIP)
The Broward MPO’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a comprehensive list of federal, state and locally funded transportation projects. All modes of transportation are included in the TIP. This includes transit, roadways, bridges, aviation, seaport, rail and commuter rail, bicycle facilities, pedestrian provisions, and enhancement projects like landscaping and greenways. The Florida Department of Transportation’s Work Program is used to produce the Broward MPO's five-year TIP.
Produced annually, the TIP is known as a short-range plan because it allocates resources and dollars over each upcoming 5-year period by project phase. Project phases from inception to completion include:
- Planning (PLN)
- Project Development and Environmental Study (PD&E)
- Preliminary Engineering (PE)
- Right of Way Acquisition (ROW)
- Construction (CST)
- Construction, Engineering and Inspection (CEI)
- Maintenance (MNT)
The purpose of developing a TIP is to develop a staged, 5-year, program of transportation projects which is consistent with the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). Major projects that eventually get programmed into the TIP generally begin as ideas many years earlier, sometimes decades earlier. These ideas may be first thought of and included in the Broward MPO's adopted LRTP, which covers a 20-25 year time span. As time passes, potential projects that remain viable gradually move closer to being included in the TIP through the LRTP's financially constrained prioritization process.
The TIP abounds with data that is used by planners and engineers such as total funding by funding source; lane and centerline mileage completed by type of work; major projects completed, underway, and delayed; and current adopted priority lists of unfunded projects. The Broward MPO adopts its TIP by July 15th each year.

TIP Amendments
The Roll-Forward Report
The Roll-Forward Report lists projects that were not authorized by the end of the last fiscal year (as of June 30). To ensure that these projects will not be omitted in the newly adopted TIP, FDOT submits this Roll-Forward Report to the Broward MPO to be included in the TIP as a “TIP Amendment”.
The Annual Obligated List of Projects
The Annual Obligated List of projects shows what actually happened with TIP project funding during the fiscal year. An obligated project is one that has been authorized by the federal government and funds have been approved to be released. The types of projects for which federal funds were obligated include transit, bicycle/pedestrian/greenways, new roadways, road widening, intersection improvements and reconstruction, interchange improvements, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), landscaping, transportation enhancements, and safety related projects.

Unfunded List of Projects
The Unfunded List of Projects contains those projects that were not included in the TIP document due to limited funds. These projects are the first to be considered when funds become available. Please see below the Unfunded List of projects.
- 2011/2012 Broward MPO Approved Unfunded Multimodal Surface Transportation Priorities
- 2011/2012 Aviation/Port/SFRTA/Florida Turnpike Unfunded List
- 2012/2013 Broward MPO Approved Unfunded Multimodal Surface Transportation Priorities
