Regional Transportation Improvement Program
SANBAG
participates in the development of the Regional Transportation Improvement
Program (RTIP), assembled by the Southern California Association of Governments
(SCAG). The RTIP is a listing of all capital transportation projects
proposed over a six-year period for the SCAG region. Projects include
highway improvements, transit, rail and bus facilities, carpool lanes,
signal synchronization, intersection improvements, freeway ramps and
other related improvements. In the SCAG region, updates are made to the
RTIP every two years, during even-numbered years.
The RTIP is prepared to implement projects and programs listed in the
Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). This document is developed in compliance
with state and federal requirements. County Transportation Commissions
have the responsibility under state law of proposing county projects,
using the current RTP's policies, programs and projects as a guide,
from among submittals by cities and local agencies. The locally prioritized
lists of projects are forwarded to SCAG for review. From this list,
SCAG
develops the RTIP based on consistency with the current RTP, inter-county
connectivity, financial constraint and conformity satisfaction.
