The Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program document identifies how all federal transportation money is spent in the Portland metropolitan region.
The Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program is the federally required documentation of transportation investments scheduled for the Portland metropolitan region during a four-year cycle. The MTIP comprises projects and programs administered by Metro, ODOT, TriMet, and SMART. Metro is required to prepare the MTIP document every two years and includes the scheduling of project funding over a four year period. The MTIP is incorporated without change into the State TIP.
The document also describes how the projects included meet federal planning and programming regulations.

The information available in the MTIP report includes the years in which projects have been programmed to receive funds, the phases funded, and revenue sources. Programming is the process to determine the availability of fund revenues from the many federal funding programs and match them to the funding needs and schedules of selected projects. Most projects receive federal funds over the course of several years for different phases of development: project definition and development, final design and engineering, right-of-way, and construction.
