As the MPO, the LACRPC is involved in various long and short range transportation planning activities that include, but are not limited to: Spot Safety Accident Studies; Rideshare Programming; Transit Planning; Paratransit Planning; and, Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs). This document has been prepared in order to address and document the Lima Urbanized Area's short range transportation. As the MPO, the LACRPC is required to annually prepare a Transportation Improvement Program (T1P) entailing all highway and transit system improvements scheduled for implementation with federal, state and local funds over the upcoming four years. Projects in the FY 1997-2000 TIP have been derived from the region's various transportation plans. Those transportation plans include: the MPO'S Long Range Transportation Plan (Year 2020 Transportation Plan Update); its Short Range Transportation Plan (Transportation Systems Management); the Allen County Regional Transit Authority's Transit Development Plan (TDP); and, the area's Special-Needs Populations Transportation Plan.
