The Lancaster MPO works with PennDOT and the South Central Transit Authority on a recurring listing of projects called the TIP. The TIP represents the next 4 years of transportation projects such as road resurfacings, bike trails, bridge repairs, and traffic signal improvements. It is updated every other year.

The projects are split into two basic categories:

• Highway and Bridge TIP - Many of the projects on the TIP address bridges or roads, but Highway and Bridge also covers surfaces that are used to get around without cars, such as trails, bicycle boulevards, and related projects.
• Transit TIP - The Transit TIP deals with projects related to buses. In Lancaster, that means supporting the Red Rose Transit Authority.

Updating the TIP

The Transportation Improvement Program is updated every two years. Draft TIPs are available for public review and comments for a 30-day period before adoption by the MPO.
