Project Selection Process

Prior to the adoption of the TIP, the Board of Commissioners conduct formal Public Hearings as required by law to ensure everyone has the opportunity to provide their input and suggestions in this process. It is very important the Public has input into this process. The prioritization process is a highly subjective one and we need public input in order to balance the judgments we make.    

Transportation Planning Advisory Committee plays an important role in this process.  The Committee was created in 2008 to coordinate the public and intergovernmental needs and ideas on the growing number of transportation issues in the community.

Project Evaluation System - used for the selection of transportation projects for funding in the County's TIP program.  Projects that are placed into the process are scored and ranked using objective criteria. These criteria include safety and/or capacity needs, structural condition, availability of funding and timing of the funding, especially for State and Federally funded programs.
