Capacity Project Prioritization

The Utah Transportation Commission, in consultation with the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and the state’s Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), developed a written prioritization process to guide the decision-making process for programming Transportation Investment Fund (TIF) and Transit Transportation Investment Fund (TTIF) monies for transportation capacity projects. This site houses everything about the TIF/TTIF prioritization process, including the modeling process, information on nominations, the legislative requirements, and frequently asked questions.

What is the TIF and TTIF?

According to the UDOT Strategic Direction the TIF and TTIF account for roughly 50% of total UDOT funding. The funding is used to construct capacity projects in addition to bond payments and other transportation infrastructure.
