The Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a short-range planmng document that IS annually updated based on needs and policies Identified through a vanety of sources. ProJect and financial development mvolve interactions With many groups and agencies at the local, reg10nal, state and federal levels It represents Kent's current hst of needed proJects that may begm work m the next SIX years The document also Identifies secured or reasonably expected revenue sources for each of the projects mcluded m the TIP. Typically, proJects listed m the first three years of the document are shown as havmg secured fundmg or there are reasonable expectatiOns to acqmre those funds, while proJects m the last three years can be parttally funded and be seekmg fundmg partners. All projects are consistent with the City's adopted 2004 Comprehensive Plan Mandated by State Law State law reqmres that each city develop a local TIP and that It be updated annually (RCW 35. 77.010). In order for cities to compete for transportatiOn fundmg grants from Federal and State sources most granting agenc1es requtre that proJects be included m the TIP Federal grant funded and regiOnally s1gmficant projects from the first three years of the C1ty's TIP are mcluded m the RegiOnal TIP, which 1s assembled by the Puget Sound Reg10nal Council for King, Kltsap, Pierce and Snohomish Counties. The regional TIPs (RTIP) from around the state are then combmed to form the State TIP {STIP), * which IS approved by the Governor and then submitted to the Federal Highway Admmistration for their review and approval. *The State TIP (STJP) zs a three-year, fiscally constrained and prioritized program of transportatwn projects compzled from local and regwnal plans Begznmng m July 2007, the STIP zs to change to a four-year document as descnbed m the Federal Safe, Accountable, Flexzble, Ejjiczent Transportatzon Equzty Act -A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) Projects hsted zn the ST!P are the only proJects that wzll be approved by the Federal Hzghway Admzmstratwn to unhze federal funds 1 CITY OF KENT SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 2007-2012 Project Number 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.
