Hernando/Citrus Metropolitan Planning Organization Transportation Improvement Program 2027-2031
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for Fiscal Years 2027-2031 outlines the strategic direction for the Hernando/Citrus Metropolitan Planning Organization, covering Citrus and Hernando counties and their municipalities. Its primary purpose is to identify, prioritize, and fund multi-modal transportation projects, consistent with the Long-Range Transportation Plan. Key investment priorities include enhancing safety, preserving infrastructure (bridges and pavements), improving system performance and freight movement, and managing transit assets and safety. The plan aims to reduce congestion, contribute to FDOT's Vision Zero goal for eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries, and ensure a coordinated approach to regional transportation development through collaboration with various stakeholders and regional partners.
