Introduction — TIP Projects

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has established a multi-year schedule for all its transportation projects—including bicycle-related projects—called the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Requests from localities for bicycle facilities undergo rigorous study and feasibility considerations before being approved. Once projects have been adopted by the Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation (DBPT) and the North Carolina Board of Transportation, they are incorporated into the TIP. This section lists information about bicycle projects in the TIP:

Projects in Progress—these have been adopted and placed on the TIP schedule or work is already underway

Completed Projects (list is in development)—these are projects completed since 1995. Some examples can be found in the Project Highlights Section.

The first TIP project in North Carolina was funded in 1987. Since then the funding available for independent projects has increased in response to numerous requests from localities. These larger allocations allow DBPT to undertake more complex projects than in the past.
