Regional Transportation Improvement Program
The Skagit Council of Governments has a responsibility, due to federal and state requirements, to develop a Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). The RTIP is a six-year, fiscally constrained listing of projects that identifies and prioritizes federally funded transportation projects, and regionally significant transportation projects, in the Skagit region. All RTIP projects must be consistent with the Skagit 2045 Regional Transportation Plan.
