Approval of this action will approve the federal, state, and locally funded transportation projects (approximately $5.1 billion) that appear within the FY 2022-2026 TIP.

Each year, the MPO assigns project priorities as part of the approval of the Multimodal Transportation Priorities List (MMPL). After MPO approval, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) staff programs/funds as many of the high-priority projects as feasible into the State’s Draft Tentative Work Program. This programming/funding by FDOT takes several months. The Work Program is typically reviewed and approved by the MPO in October or December. Following the MPO’s approval of the Work Program, along with any necessary revisions, FDOT District Four and Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise (FTE) finalize their respective Work Programs, typically in April each year. The MPO’s TIP is then developed to reflect the projects in the final Work Program that are based upon the MPO’s approved project priorities from the MMPL, which was approved the previous year. The TIP currently being considered is based on the MMPL approved by the MPO Board in June of 2020 and the Work Program approved in January of 2021.

The FY 2022-2026 TIP lists 452 projects alphabetically (excluding projects fully locally funded and mobility hubs projects funded by Federal Transit Administration projects under implementation) with federal, state, county, and local funds (totaling more than $5.1 billion) and categorizes projects into 15 categories such as aviation, highways, seaport, rail, and transit. For details, please refer to the Draft FY 2021-2025 TIP posted on the Broward MPO website at: https://browardmpo.org/core-products/transportation-improvement-program-tip. In addition, there are 24 projects included in the previous TIP that have graduated from the TIP and are under implementation. For details, please see the Attachment 1.

We encourage you to review the Draft FY 2022-2026 TIP. At the upcoming meeting, a presentation will be made that includes overview of the TIP. For the PowerPoint presentation, please see Attachment 2.
