City of Sauk Rapids FY 2027-2030 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

The Saint Cloud Area Planning Organization (APO) is in charge of developing a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is a federally mandated, annually prepared document that contains highway, transit, and other transportation projects for which federal funds are programmed during a four-year period within the metropolitan area.

APO staff is in the process of completing the fiscal years 2027-2030 TIP and is asking for your opinion on these proposed federally-funded projects.

Please note that sometimes a jurisdiction may be awarded federal funds for a specific future year – like 2029 for example – but the jurisdiction may choose to construct the project sooner – in 2027 for example – and then reimburse themselves with the federal funds when they receive them. This is known as Advanced Construction. This survey does not include projects that have already been constructed and are only waiting on federal reimbursement through the Advanced Construction process.

Thank you.
