State Planning

The Kerr-Tar RPO works with citizens and government agencies in the region to develop and prioritize transportation projects for the state's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

The TIP is a seven-year plan that identifies project priorities, groups improvements into staging periods and includes estimated costs and revenues.

The RPO develops its TIP Priority List every two years to communicate the project priorities for the region and its communities. It is a key step in the collaborative process used by the RPO, transit operators and NC-DOT to develop the TIP with public input.
