Comment on updates to the 2026-2029 TIP

Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) is accepting public comment on recommended changes to the Fiscal Year 2026-2029 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

The TIP is a list of specific projects that implement the policies laid out in the Transportation Plan. TIP projects are recommended by project sponsors from around the region, including cities, villages, county engineers, transit providers, and the Ohio Department of Transportation over a four-year period. TMACOG’s Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Policy Board votes on the final approval of the TIP project list and is responsible for considering and approving changes brought forth in TIP amendments.

TMACOG’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has recommended two amendments to the Fiscal Year 2026-2029 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) be presented to the MPO Policy Board at its next meeting.
