The TIP is a staged program encompassing a five-year period consisting of all regionally significant transportation improvements to all modes of travel in Palm Beach County. The TIP identifies transportation improvements funded by Federal, State, and local sources. The TIP is based on the Florida Dept. of Transportation's FY 2017-2021 Work Program, and generally moves forward the projects from previous TIPs.
