The Pasco County MPO is planning its Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for fiscal years 2027 through 2031. This program identifies transportation projects and services planned for development or implementation in Pasco County between July 1, 2026, and June 30, 2031. Projects included will be funded by the Federal Highway Administration or Federal Transit Administration, or are regionally significant and require their approval. The MPO is currently in the project prioritization phase, using data from travel demand modeling, technical evaluations, staff discussions, regional planning efforts, and public input. This process leads to the development of a Cost Feasible Plan, balancing multimodal transportation improvements with available revenues. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers can benefit by engaging early in this planning process, before specific project details, bids, and permits are finalized, to understand potential upcoming infrastructure and transit-related work.
