Metro is required by both federal (Title 23 USC 134 (g) & (h)) and state (PUC 130303) statutes to prepare a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for Los Angeles County and program TIP revenues across all transportation modes (pedestrian, bicycle, transit, highway) based on the planning requirements laid out in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) of 1998.
The agency accomplishes this mandate by planning and programming funds on a multi-modal basis through the TIP Call for Projects, the TIP Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP), the TIP Local Program and the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
