The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) has a pretty big job. Covering much of the metro Atlanta area, the ARC has a number of responsibilities to try and help out the 6 million or so living in the region. Perhaps chief among them, and likely with the most funding involved, is the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). TIP is the mechanism through which federal, state and local funds are approved for “significant” transportation projects across the region.
The latest news on TIP is the approval of more than $265 million in federal and state funds. More than $38 million of this is congressionally directed grants, $219 million in federal discretionary funding and $7.5 million in Georgia Department of Transportation fund sources. In total, the funding will go towards 33 new projects and 12 existing projects.
