The Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) is a federally mandated four year program of all surface transportation projects that will receive federal funding or are subject to a federally required action. As the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Tulare County region, TCAG is responsible for developing the FTIP for submittal to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the federal funding agencies. The FTIP for the TCAG region is developed in partnership with the eight incorporated cities of Dinuba, Exeter, Farmersville, Lindsay, Porterville, Tulare, Visalia, Woodlake, the County of Tulare as well as Caltrans District 6 and Caltrans Headquarters. This listing identifies specific funding sources and fund amounts for each project. It is prioritized to implement the region’s overall strategy for providing mobility and improving both the efficiency and safety of the transportation system, while supporting efforts to attain federal and state air quality standards for the region by reducing transportation related air pollution. Projects in the FTIP include highway and bridge facilities and improvements, transit, bus facilities, signal synchronization, intersection improvements, and bicycle and pedestrian projects.
The FTIP must include all federally funded transportation projects in the region, as well as all regionally significant transportation projects for which approval from federal funding agencies is required, regardless of funding source. The projects in the FTIP have been found to be consistent with TCAG’s approved Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS).
For questions regarding the FTIP, please contact Gabriel Gutierrez, Principal Regional Planner at (559) 623-0450 or by email at ggutierrez@tularecag.ca.gov.
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) prepared the Draft 2025 Federal Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (FSTIP) in coordination with the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and the Regional Transportation Planning Agencies (RTPAs) in California. The FSTIP is a federally mandated document required to be updated every two years. The Draft 2025 FSTIP includes phases of capital and non-capital transportation projects prioritized to receive federal funding under Titles 23 and 49 of the United States Code during federal fiscal years 2025 through 2028. The FSTIP also includes regionally significant projects regardless of the funding source.
Each of the State’s eighteen MPOs prepares a Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP), which includes federal, state, local, and transit projects within its boundary. These FTIPs are included in the FSTIP by reference.
The Draft 2025 FSTIP is available for public review and comment beginning October 10, 2024 through October 31, 2024. Please submit your comments to Vaik Renga by email at Vaikunthan.Renganathan@dot.ca.gov.
