Brian Shelton explained that the Transportation Improvement Program is
required to be updated annually by RCW. TIPs are adopted by resolution
at the local agency level and adopted into the regional TIP by the Puget
Sound Regional Council (PSRC). The TIP is primarily a financial
planning document for projects competing for grants. Any project
submitted for Federal ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation
Efficiency Act of 1991) and grant funding must be included in the local
and regionally adopted TIP. Shelton said the development- driven projects
that are not grant candidates in the next few years have been deleted. They
