The purpose of this program is to "assure that each city and town shall perpetually have available advanced plans looking to the future for not less than six years as a guide in carrying out a coordinated street construction program". This annual update also informs neighboring jurisdictions of the City's construction schedule for the purposes of coordination and compatibility. METHODOLOGY · Transportation needs are identified by examining the latest information concerning safety and accident history, growth trends, traffic studies and the City's recently adopted (1997) and updated (1998/1999) Transportation Plan. · A revenue forecast is prepared to provide a reasonable estimate of funding available to accomplish the transportation improvement needs. Since the desire to construct transportation improvements typically exceeds the available forecast revenue, it is necessary to establish some method of prioritizing the needs. · The Public Works Committee and Staff review transportation needs as prioritized by city staff. The likelihood of receiving federal or state grants for various improvements is considered. Community interest and 2001-2006 TIP Project Descrit~tions PaRe -2 values are also considered. All of these factors yield a prioritized list of transportation improvements. The prioritized list is then financially constrained to reflect the financial projections to yield the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program. NOTE The program recognizes approximately $140 million worth of transportation improvements (including Non-Motorized and pavement preservation)for the next six years.
