PRO-3
Approve Project List Drawn from Adopted Plan Scenario or Solution Set
Description: This key decision establishes the list of projects drawn from the long range plan or corridor planning process that will be considered for funding in the TIP. Improvements to be funded with non-transportation revenue are not included in this project list.
There is information developed in prior key decisions that informs this step. In order to effectively execute this key decision there is essential information created at LRP-8 for projects included in the adopted preferred scenario consistent with revenue availability and COR-9, where applicable. PRO-1 provides revenue sources to be applied to project list/validated from the long range plan.
Purpose
To create a list of projects to consider for funding drawn primarily from the adopted plan scenario and/or adopted priorities in corridor planning.
Outcome
An approved list of projects to consider for funding that provide as much detail as currently available.
