Transportation Improvement Program
The Transportation Improvement Program sets the schedule for improvements to the region’s transportation systems.
This short-term plan highlights which major transportation projects are currently underway and which projects are planned over the next four years. Federal and state funds are assigned to specific projects for all modes of transportation. Each project within the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is regionally significant and has been identified, prioritized, and funded because it meets the regional goals and vision of the Grand Valley Regional Transportation Plan.
Even though the document is updated on an annual basis and amended throughout the year, the community, local planning partners, and policy-makers are encouraged to review the projects and provide feedback on a regular basis.
The TIP encompasses projects only within the Grand Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) boundary which covers a majority of the urban areas of Mesa County; including Grand Junction, Fruita, Palisade, and the urban portions of unincorporated Mesa County.
Current TIP
The Fiscal Year 2027-2030 TIP was adopted by the Grand Valley Regional Transportation Committee on April 30, 2026 and is in effect as of July 1, 2026. This document will be in effect until June 30, 2027.
TIP Amendment
The TIP is periodically amended throughout the year. The TIP Amendment Process outlines when a TIP Amendment requires public input and adoption through the GVRTC and when RTPO staff can administratively modify the TIP.
