To effectively execute these planning and programming responsibilities, MTC requires that each transit operator in its region that receives federal funding through the TIP prepare, adopt, and submit to MTC a Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) that includes a Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Schedule, cost, and performance data used to generate this SRTP/CIP were based upon the most current information available as of October 2018.
