The Johnson City Metropolitan Transportation Planning Organization (MTPO) presents the draft Fiscal Years 2026-2029 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for a 14-calendar day public comment period. Comments are due by Monday, November 24, 2025. The TIP describes and lists capital projects approved for funding for the fiscal years indicated within the Johnson City MTPO Metropolitan Planning Area, which includes the municipalities of Bluff City, Elizabethton, Johnson City, Jonesborough, a sliver of the Town of Unicoi, along with unincorporated areas in Carter, Washington, and Sullivan County. There are several types of projects within the TIP. These projects include: highways, public transportation, bicycle/pedestrian facilities, traffic signalization, and intersection improvements. The projects in the TIP are derived from the 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP).

Public involvement activities and time established for public review and comment on the TIP will satisfy the Program of Projects requirement for the Federal Transit Administration Urbanized Area Formula Program.
