An overview of TIB's urban funding programs.
Overview
The TIB provides funding to customers with a population of 5,000 and over through three grant programs:
  • Urban Arterial Program (UAP)
  • Urban Corridor Program (UCP)
  • Urban Sidewalk Program (SP)

  • Eligible projects must be located within the federally designated urban area in compliance with the Growth Management Act.

    Projects are usually large in scale with multiple funding sources ranging from local contribution to private developer fees. These projects are selected annually on a competitive basis. Each program has distinct characteristics for the best suited project. Qualification and criteria are different within each program.

    Once selected, TIB staff provides grant oversight, participates in Value Engineering (VE) studies, and acts as facilitators to bring projects to completion.

    Do I need a Value Engineering (VE) Study?
