FFY 2023 - 2026 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), Environmental Justice Summary, and Air Quality Conformity Analysis

The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is the regionally agreed on list of priority projects required by federal transportation legislation. It lists all transportation projects in Berks County that intend to use federal funds over the next four years (FFY 2023-2026), along with non-federally funded projects that are regionally significant. The list is multi-modal, meaning that it includes highway, bridge, and public transit projects as well as non-traditional bicycle & pedestrian projects.  

The FFY 2023-2026 TIP for Berks County contains 131 projects totaling $303.2 million for the phases to be advanced during the next four years.  It includes 105 projects valued at $241.4 million addressing the highway system and bridges and 26 projects valued at $61.9 million addressing the transit system.

There is also a statewide Interstate Management Program that is separate from the regional TIP.  There are three (3) Interstate Management Program projects located in Berks County with a value of $75.8 million.

TIP Amendments/Modifications

Between the regular two-year updates to the TIP, it may become necessary to make Amendments (project additions or deletions) or Modifications (changes to project schedules or funding) based on updates to available funding levels, updated engineering and/or cost estimates, changing project schedules, or changing priorities. These changes are regulated by the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) found in Appendix A. As these changes are approved, we will post them here. The first document will list project- or phase-specific information. The second document will be an updated spreadsheet reflecting both prior and current changes to the program.
