How are projects selected for the MTIP?
Projects are selected for inclusion in the MTIP from a variety of sources. Projects that are funded from state or federal funding sources are included in the MTIP after these projects are approved for funding by SACOG, Caltrans, or the California Transportation Commission. If state or local agencies are required to contribute a portion of the cost of each project from state or local funds, these funds must be committed by the appropriate agencies before the projects are included in the MTIP. When local agencies -including cities, counties, and transit agencies- adopt capital improvement programs, the transportation projects in these programs are eligible for inclusion in the MTIP if the local agencies have committed the necessary funds to implement them.
