Improvement Program:
The STIP
Coordinator is responsible for preparing and amending on an ongoing
basis the State Transportation Improvement Program - a staged, multi
year plan of transportation projects to be funded by the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) or Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The
four year plan describes the capital and non-capital projects
anticipated to require FHWA and/or FTA funding each year over the
period. An important element of the plan is the Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP) prepared by the Chittenden County Metropolitan
Planning Organization in consultation with the Agency of

Regional Planning:
The Agency of Transportation
has a consultative planning and public outreach relationship statewide
through the Transportation Planning Initiative (TPI). Regional
Transportation Planning Coordinators carry out the Vermont
Transportation Planning Initiative (TPI) in working partnership with the
ten non-metropolitan Regional Planning Commissions (RPCs) of the state
and the Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO).
The Coordinators work with these regional agencies to solicit local
input, identify needs, develop regional transportation plans and
transportation improvement programs, and otherwise provide planning
capacity to the VTrans on an ongoing basis. In addition, the
coordinators play a key role in the Agency's public outreach efforts -
working collaboratively with the RPCs and CCMPO, other state agencies,
VTrans program managers, and, diverse public and private organizations
to inform the public on important transportation issues, programs,
projects, planning activities, and otherwise to assure the flow of
accurate information affecting and/or involving the public.
