The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)

A multi-year program of transportation improvements for the St. Cloud metropolitan area. The TIP must be updated and approved at least every two years by the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in cooperation with the Minnesota Department of Transportation and St. Cloud Metro Bus. Once approved, the TIP is incorporated into the State Transportation Improvement Program.

Through such aspects as preserving its natural resources, boosting its already-stable economy and enhancing the standard of living through well-maintained neighborhoods, excellent education and superior medical care, the greater St. Cloud area will continue on its path of well thought-out, planned development.
