SAWMPO staff is processing one amendment request DRPT to the FY24-27 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The amendment will be available for public review from November 9 through November 16, 2026. The Policy Board will consider approving the TIP amendment at the November 18, 2026 Board meeting.
TIP Overview
The TIP is the region’s short-range program of federally funded transportation projects, updated regularly to reflect current costs, funding sources, and phasing. Amendments keep the TIP consistent with actual project costs and funding commitments. Processing amendments keeps the MPO in compliance with FHWA requirements and ensures the MPO and member localities continue to receive federal funding for these projects. The current FY24-27 TIP is available for viewing at: sawmpo.org/short-range-planning/.
Amendment: Appendix E Transit Asset Management (TAM) Targets
The TAM targets amendment is included in TIP Appendix G. TAM targets track whether a transit system keeps its assets in a state of good repair, meaning they remain safe, reliable, and within their expected service life. The targets cover three asset categories that apply to HDPT: revenue vehicles such as buses and vans, support vehicles such as service trucks and cars, and facilities such as passenger stations and maintenance buildings, with each target setting the maximum percentage of assets that may exceed their useful life or fall below an acceptable condition rating. The FFY2026 targets replace the FFY2022 targets in Appendix G.
