The Pasco County MPO is developing its FY 2027 - 2031 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). This program identifies transportation projects and services planned for Pasco County between July 1, 2026, and June 30, 2031. Projects may be funded by the Federal Highway Administration or Federal Transit Administration, or be of regional significance requiring federal approval. The TIP development involves identifying transportation needs, prioritizing projects, and considering various technical evaluations and public input. This process is currently under review as part of the TIP development. The work will involve planning, engineering, and potentially construction phases for various transportation improvements. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas like site preparation, civil engineering, construction, and material supply may find opportunities as projects move through the planning and funding stages. Engaging early in this planning process can provide an advantage before specific bid packages and permits are finalized.
