Transportation Improvement Program Set-Aside

DRCOG's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) also funds set-asides. Some set-asides hold their own calls for projects at different times during the active TIP lifespan, along with unique scoring criteria. A brief description of each TIP set-aside can be found below, along with information on the next call for projects.

 

2020-2023 TIP Set-Asides

TDM Services

Transportation demand management, or TDM, refers to activities that help people use the transportation system more efficiently while reducing traffic congestion, vehicle emissions and fuel consumption. In addition to funding non-infrastructure projects, the TIP funds the Way to Go program and partnerships with seven regional transportation management associations.  Visit this page to learn more. 

Regional Transportation Operations and Technology

The objective of the Regional Transportation Operations and Technology Set-Aside is to improve the safety, efficiency, dependability and cost-effectiveness of our regional transportation system. DRCOG, CDOT, RTD, local governments and other entities collaborate to implement transportation technology and systems to achieve that objective.

The call for projects for fiscal years 2020-2023 is closed. The development of the next call is expected to begin in the summer of 2022 with the Call for Projects being announced in early 2023. Click here to learn more.
