2026 Transportation Improvement Program Update
To ensure that New York State’s transportation system can facilitate the efficient movement of individuals and commerce; withstand the increasing intensity and frequency of extreme weather events; support changing personal mobility and travel demands; and minimize the impact on greenhouse gas emissions, this Transportation Improvement Program/Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (TIP/STIP) Update process incorporates heightened considerations. In addition to emphasizing engineering-based asset management principles, this TIP/STIP update process emphasizes improvements that address climate/resilience vulnerabilities; reduces the carbon footprint of transportation; supports operational enhancements and emergency response efforts through Traffic Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) activities; and improves overall safety and accessibility for all system users, including motorists, transit users, bicyclists and pedestrians.
