The Transportation Infrastructure Investment Plan (TIIP) defines the priority and timing of infrastructure projects for the Transportation Department. This program of system improvements defines the overall transportation capital investment plan for a ten year period and provides information to Council to prepare capital budgets for the upcoming three year business planning cycle. The primary sources of funding for the ten year program comes from provincial and federal grants and transportation levies.
Keeping Calgarians on the move
Taking direction from the Council approved Sustainability Principles and building on the Smart Growth themes in Plan-it Calgary, the Municipal Development Plan review, and the Calgary Transportation Plan, the TIIP program significantly improves transportation mobility by:
- Providing additions to the transit network
- Promoting all modes of travel and increasing choice
- Improving goods movements
- Fostering sustainability principles
At the same time, TIIP continues to provide strategic transportation infrastructure that eases congestion and provides safe, clean and well maintained transportation infrastructure. The 2009-2018 Transportation Infrastructure Investment Plan was approved by City Council in July 2008. Funding estimates will be updated in Q2 2011, and a new 3-year capital investment plan will be produced based on the 2009-2018 TIIP. This plan will be incorporated into the 3-year business planning process that will conclude in Q4 2011. A complete 10-year update of TIIP is anticipated in 2012.
