Annually, the City of Renton updates a Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), a planning document adopted by the Renton City Council.
State law requires the preparation and annual updating of a six-year comprehensive transportation program. This six-year plan sets forth projects and programs of regional significance, including funds for any new, enhanced bicycle and/or pedestrian facilities as well as any other applicable changes that promote non-motorized transit.
The TIP is a multi-year planning tool that updates future plans for transportation projects and program within the City and is used to coordinate with other jurisdictions and agencies. The projects and programs in the annual update support the mission and vision of the Renton Business Plan and reflect the involvement of the public and the City’s elected officials.

-
