The Executive Board adopted the final draft 2007-2010 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

The 2007-2010 TIP contains the 122 projects recommended by the Executive Board in July to receive $502.4 million in new PSRC federal funds, as well as one new, locally funded, regionally significant project and the projects that are carrying over from the previous TIP. Air quality modeling of the projects found that they meet state and federal requirements for clean air.

The Executive Board approved continued participation with the Transportation Partnership in 2007.

For the past two years, PSRC has been working effectively with diverse regional and statewide interests through the Transportation Partnership. The Partnership, which is co-chaired by Executive Director Bob Drewel, was instrumental in the passage of the 2005 Transportation Partnership Act and was very active in the 2006 session.
