Transportation Improvement Plans (TIPs) Incorporated by Reference

The STIP incorporates several TIPs by reference:  Under federal rules, a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is charged with preparing long-range transportation plans within its jurisdiction, and implementing the plans through TIPs, or Transportation Improvement Programs.  An MPO is federally-designated transportation planning body for an urbanized area with a resident population over 50,000. 

Anchorage, Fairbanks, and the Matanuska-Susitna (Mat-Su) Borough are the only MPOs in Alaska, known as AMATS (Anchorage Metropolitan Area Transportation Solutions), FAST (Fairbanks Area Surface Transportation) and MVP (Mat-Su Valley Planning for Transportation).  MVP became eligible for MPO status after the last census indicated the population had increased to over 50,000, and became an official MPO after an Operating Agreement was signed in December of 2023.
