As part of the federally prescribed metropolitan transportation planning process, the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) must publish an annual listing of projects for which federal funds, provided under 23 U.S.C. or 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53, were obligated in the preceding program year.  Fulfillment of this Congressional mandate is intended to increase the transparency of federal government spending on transportation projects within a metropolitan planning area (MPA) to state and local officials, and to the public at large.  

Annual Listing of Obligated Projects
The Public Participation Plan (PPP) outlines the strategies and processes the MPO will employ to engage the public and affected stakeholders in the transportation planning process.  The plan details the techniques for incorporating visualization techniques, using electronic media, holding public meetings, and responding to public input, among other things.  The PPP is approved by the Transportation Policy Committee and the Federal Highway Administration. 

Public Participation Plan

The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) describes the transportation planning activities and studies to be carried out by the MPO staff and local planning partners over a one- to two-year period.  It includes a schedule for completing the work, the resulting products, the proposed funding by activity/task, and a summary of the total amounts and sources of federal and matching funds.  The program is approved by the Transportation Policy Committee and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

Unified Planning Work Program

The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) identifies the capital and non-capital surface transportation projects (or phases of projects) within the MPA boundaries.  By law, the TIP must include all highway, road, transit, transportation enhancement, safety, trails, pedestrian walkway and bicycle facility projects that will involve federally funding provided under 23 U.S.C. or 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53.  The TIP, which covers a period of four years, must be approved by the Transportation Policy Committee and the Governor, and it is updated at least every four years.

Transportation Improvement Program

The Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) identifies the long- and short-range strategies and actions to be carried out over the next 20 years to further develop an integrated multimodal transportation system in the Terre Haute-Vigo County Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA).  The plan is based on available estimates and assumptions for population, land use, travel, employment, congestion and economic activity, and it is updated at least every four years.  The MPO makes an Air Quality Conformity Determination in conjunction with the development of the LRTP to demonstrate that planned transportation projects will not worsen air quality by violating specified baseline pollutant amounts or budgets, or interfere with attainment or maintenance of National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
