Transportation Improvement Project (TIP)

SEAGO receives approximately $1,500,000 in federal highway construction funds each year for the Transportation Improvement Program, or TIP. These funds are awarded to SEAGO members on a competitive basis, and once the SEAGO Executive Board approves a project, it is placed on the TIP. Use of these funds requires a 5.3 percent cash match from the recipient.

Go to the AZDOT website to access the Arizona Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).

Funding for the SEAGO TIP comes from federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds and varies from year to year. This funding is discretionary on the part of ADOT, and is based on a formula derived by ADOT using current population estimates. The funding also varies in accordance with the Obligation Authority (OA) provided to ADOT each year by the Federal Highways Administration. This OA percentage has varied from 85 percent to 105 percent, depending on the perceived need to reduce the federal deficit.
