28. Do projects have to be in both the STIP/TIP?

If the project is within the planning boundary of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the project has to be in both the TIP and STIP. Projects in rural areas only have to be in the STIP. Depending on State or local requirements, the projects may show on the aggregate (program level) or be listed on the individual project level listing. TIP and STIP listings must be consistent with the metropolitan and statewide transportation plans.
