Background/Issues & Analysis

CAMPO is responsible for carrying out transportation planning activities within the CAMPO Area. The

TIP document is developed in collaboration with Carson City, Douglas County, Lyon County, and the Nevada Department of Transportation (“NDOT”). Projects identified in the TIP, consistent with National, State, and CAMPO’s regionally adopted goals, are anticipated to contribute to meeting CAMPO’s performance targets as listed in CAMPO’s 2050 Regional Transportation Plan (“RTP"), available at www.CarsonAreaMPO.com. All projects programmed within the TIP are financially constrained, meaning funding is reasonably anticipated to be available as documented within the 2050 RTP. Project funding programmed for FFY 2027 and 2028 shall be limited to funds available or committed. Project funding programmed for FFY 2029 and 2030 can utilize funding that is reasonably anticipated to be available. Coordination with NDOT has been occurring to ensure fiscal constraint across the different federal funding sources. 

 

Adoption of this TIP, classified as action 27-00, includes 19 projects. Following adoption by CAMPO, the TIP will be submitted to NDOT, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Federal Transit Administration for review and approval, and CAMPO staff will work with these agencies as needed to ensure approval.

 

TIP approvals and amendments require a 14-day minimum public comment period as described in CAMPO’s Public Participation Plan. The public comment period for this action opened on October 17, 2026, and ended on October 31, 2026. No comments were received. NDOT is also in process of adopting the State TIP, known as the STIP, which is currently out for public comment and includes this version of CAMPO’s TIP.

 

The prioritization of projects listed in the TIP were reviewed using the established project prioritization methodology listed in the RTP. The project prioritization methodology was reviewed and revised to ensure consistency and repeatability. The edits made to the prioritization methodology are shown in Exhibit 2. The RTP project list was then reviewed using this updated project prioritization methodology with an updated list of prioritized projects shown in Exhibit 3. Most of the top ranked projects are included in the FFY 2027-2030 TIP.

Financial Information
Is there a fiscal impact?    No
If yes, account name/number:   

CAMPO Fund, CAMPO Grants / 2453028-501210, Project # G302827001. 

Is it currently budgeted?   Yes
Explanation of Fiscal Impact:   

The TIP is a federally required document that programs funding for projects that are of regional significance and/or are funded with federal transportation funding. This document does not commit CAMPO’s or a local jurisdiction’s funding. Future agreements between NDOT and local jurisdictions will commit funding and resources. CAMPO has demonstrated that funding is reasonably expected to be available through the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan, consistent with federal regulations.

 

The fiscal impact associated with this item is for staff time to administer the TIP. Unified Planning Work Program (“UPWP”) tasks are reimbursable with federal planning funds at a rate of 95%. The 5% local match has been budgeted within CAMPO’s approved Fiscal Years 2027 & 2028 UPWP, Work Element 1.0, MPO Administration.

Alternatives

Do not accept the FFY 2027-2030 Transportation Improvement Program and provide an alternative direction to staff.
