It includes all projects to be funded under Title 23 and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The TIP is also required to be financially constrained and include a financial plan that demonstrates how the projects can be implemented while the existing transportation system is being adequately operated and maintained. Only projects for which construction and operating funds can reasonably be expected to be available may be included, and must be consistent with the Metropolitan Transportation Plan.
