About TMIP

Better Transportation Planning Analysis through Partnerships

TMIP is a partnership. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Office of the Secretary of Transportation (OST) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cooperatively fund and support TMIP to conduct research and deliver technical assistance and training to transportation planning professionals. In addition, TMIP partnered with the Department of Energy and the Los Alamos National Labs on a large research and development effort, which resulted in the creation of the TRANSIMS technology.

TMIP shares many of its objectives with other stakeholder groups and national organizations. TMIP works cooperatively with the Metropolitan Capacity Building Program (MCB), which is focused on enhancing the capabilities of State and local transportation staffs to meet planning requirements and needs. TMIP also works with the Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (AMPO) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).
