The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) documents how the Kansas City region prioritizes the limited transportation resources available for the various needs of the region. It includes a staged, five-year list of surface transportation projects proposed for federal, state and local funding within the metropolitan area. Inclusion in the TIP represents a major milestone in the project development process that enables a project to receive and expend federal funds. Before discussing the process by which the TIP is developed and analyzed, it is important to gain familiarity with the metropolitan transportation planning process and the key elements developed by the process. A good place to begin is with the Mid- America Regional Council (MARC).

MARC plays an active leadership role in strengthening the metropolitan community by providing: • A forum for addressing regional objectives and diverse community issues. • Long-range planning and public policy coordination. • Technical assistance and services that enhance the effectiveness of local government. As the designated MPO for the Kansas City region, MARC is responsible for the development of plans and programs that provide for the development and integrated management and operation of transportation systems and facilities that will function as a multimodal transportation system for a geographic area that is projected to be urbanized within the next 20 years. MARC’s current jurisdiction for metropolitan transportation planning consists of the entirety of Cass, Clay, Jackson, and Platte counties and a small portion of Lafayette County in Missouri and the entirety of Johnson, Leavenworth, Miami and Wyandotte counties in Kansas. This area encompasses a population of approximately 1.99 million people. 6 Transportation Improvement Program 2020–2024 Figure 1: MARC Regional Boundaries The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) The TIP is developed by MARC in cooperation with Kansas (KDOT) and Missouri (MoDOT) departments of transportation, local governments and public transportation agencies.
