Transportation Infrastructure Investment Plan (TIIP) Introduction

The Transportation Infrastructure Investment Plan (TIIP) defines the priority and timing of infrastructure projects and programs 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 ten year program is based on projected funding from numerous sources (provincial and federal grants, transportation levies, taxes, etc). The overall plan will be updated as required when new funding forecasts are made available.

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 review, the TIIP program significantly improves transportation mobility by providing additions to the transit network, promoting all modes of travel, improving goods movement and 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.
