The Regional TIP (RTIP) consists of SACOG's recommendations to the
State of California regarding which projects should be funded through
the state's transportation funding program. These recommendations
are approved by the California Transportation
Commission (CTC), and upon approval by the state, these projects are
incorporated into the State
TIP (STIP). The STIP covers a five year period and is updated
every two years.
The majority (75%) of the funding in the STIP goes to fund the regional improvement
programs listed in the various RTIPs submitted by Regional Transportaton Planning Agencies (RTPAs) throughout the state. The other 25% of the STIP funding
is sent to the CTC by Caltrans for approval as the Interregional Transportation
Improvement Program (ITIP). The ITIP is meant to fund projects that cross
metropolitan boundaries and link the state's transportation systems together.
Caltrans also prepares a statewide equivalent of the MTIP, known as the
Federal Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (FSTIP). The FSTIP
is a compilation of all the projects from the MTIPs from every region in
the state, as well as all other federally-funded projects in the small-urban
and rural regions of the state.
