The BMPO Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) identifies transportation projects in the BMPO study area that are scheduled in federal fiscal years 2018-2021. The period begins on October 1, 2017, which is the beginning of the 2018 federal fiscal year, and ends September 30, 2021, which is the end of the 2021 federal fiscal year. The MTIP lists most federally funded and some locally funded projects anticipated by local agencies and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT).

 The MTIP contains a four-year listing of anticipated expenditures for locally funded projects drawn from the capital improvement programs of Bend and Deschutes County. It also lists projects from the ODOT Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The MTIP lists projects for which application of specific federal funds will be made during the programming period. Projects in the MTIP must be consistent with the Metropolitan Transportation Plan.

 By adopting the MTIP, the Policy Board has selected the projects identified in Table 3, Program of FFY 2018-2021 Transportation Projects, for implementation and funding as scheduled. No additional action by the Policy Board is required for funding these projects. If additional funds become available or if a project experiences an unexpected delay, the Policy Board may select other projects from the first three years of the schedule to take advantage of the additional funds or to replace a delayed project.
