In adopting a four-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) each year, the parties to this memorandum of understanding, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC), the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) and New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJ TRANSIT), agree to a shared set of capital investments that implement the DVRPC's Regional Transportation Plan. Following gubernatorial (or NJDOT Commissioner, if so designated) approval of the DVRPC TIP, the three Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) TIPs are consolidated without modification into the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) that is submitted to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for their joint approval. The federal approval enables NJDOT and NJ TRANSIT to seek funding approval for individual projects that are listed in the current year of the TIP/STIP.
