The TIP is a short-range list of proposed transportation improvement projects for the metropolitan planning area, including all of Lake County and Sumter County. A TIP must include all transportation projects within the metropolitan planning area that are proposed for funding under Title 23 and Title 49 Chapter 53, United States Code. It must also include all regionally significant projects requiring action by FHWA or FTA, and for information purposes, all regionally significant projects regardless of funding source. These projects include highway, bridge, bicycle, pedestrian, maintenance, transit, transportation disadvantaged, and aviation projects. The TIP is required to be financially constrained by year and include a financial plan that demonstrates which projects can be implemented using current revenue sources and which projects are to be implemented using projected revenues.
The public participation process used for the development of the TIP is also used to satisfy the Lake County Transit Services Division Program of Projects (POP) and Sumter County Transit POP as required by the Federal Transit Administration Section 5307 Program. The POP is a list of transit-related activities developed each year to indicate funding expenditures on items including vehicle purchases, facility construction and renovation, major equipment upgrades, etc.
