The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a federally required, short-range plan that provides information regarding the schedule of multimodal transportation projects federally funded or deemed regionally significant in the MACOG region. The projects listed are developed in cooperation with the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), regional transit providers, member jurisdictions, and the public.

Development of a TIP is a federal requirement as defined by the current highway bill, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The TIP must be cooperatively developed every two years, compatible with the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).

MACOG works with local jurisdictions, INDOT, and the public to identify projects that will be included in the program. The program must be fiscally constrained, meaning only the amount of funding that can be reasonably anticipated is programmed and relates to the Michiana on the Move: 2050 Transportation Plan.

The Michiana Area Council of Governments (MACOG) has developed a draft State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2026-2030 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP includes a listing of transportation projects that are federally funded between SFY 2026 and 2030, including road, transit, bicycle and pedestrian projects for Elkhart, Kosciusko, Marshall, and St. Joseph Counties in Indiana.

A draft of the proposed program of projects is available at area public libraries, MACOG’s office, and in the document library below.

A draft of the proposed program of projects is available at area public libraries, MACOG’s office, and on MACOG’s website. A review and comment period begins on March 5, 2025, and extends until April 4, 2025.
