Download Draft 2025-2028 TIP
The Maui MPO has the FY 2025-2028+2 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) ready for you.
The TIP is an important document for our island—it includes all transportation projects on Maui that use federal highway or transit money or are regionally significant. By identifying our most important near-term projects in the TIP, we can receive funding for roads, bridges, bus transit, trails, paths, and sidewalks.
We used the Hele Mai Maui Long-Range Transportation Plan 2040 (Hele Mai Maui) as the basis for this TIP update, as well as input from Maui residents through a Call for Projects. And we coordinated with the Hawai‘i Department of Transportation (HDOT), Maui County Public Works (DPW), and the County Department of Transportation (MDOT) to identify priority projects and assign them to the appropriate years. Since the TIP is fiscally constrained—with about $14 million available each year for County projects—and since federal funds cover only 80% of project costs, staying within the budget and identifying local funds to fill the gap is a tricky balancing act.
What kind of projects are included in the TIP?
We’ve included more than 60 projects in the draft TIP. They include important maintenance projects—including roadway repaving and bridge repairs—as well as safety improvements, new paths and trails, traffic signals, bus stops and shelters, complete streets projects, and projects to make our island more resilient and accessible. All projects qualify for Federal funds, and they all meet the goals of Hele Mai Maui.
You can review the projects in this interactive map, or by dowloading the Draft 2025-2028 TIP list (also embedded below).
Here is the list:
Here's the recording from the Virtual Meeting via Zoom last July 11:
- MAUI MPO REGULAR MEETINGS. You’re always welcome to attend the MPO’s Technical Advisory Committee and Policy Board meetings to provide public comment to agenda items and listen to the discussion.
Subscribe to receive agenda notifications via email
- EMAIL OR SNAIL MAIL. You may submit your comments via email at getinvolved@mauimpo.org, or mail them to Maui MPO at 200 S. High Street, Wailuku, HI 96793 or call (808) 270-8216.
The MPO doesn’t directly build transportation projects—we leave that to our partners at HDOT and the County. You can visit their websites to check a project’s status:
- County Department of Public Works
- County Department of Transportation
- Hawaii Department of Transportation
We’ve also created a simple table to share the status of projects on the current TIP, which you can view below: (as of July 1, 2024)
The MPO creates a new four-year TIP every three years—so there is an overlap year between the current and new TIP—and revises the current TIP two times a year. The schedule below describes the 2024 process.
After we receive your feedback on the draft TIP, we’ll take it to the MPO Technical Advisory Committee and the Policy Board for final review and approval in August. Then Maui MPO will submit the TIP to HDOT for inclusion in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The STIP must be reviewed and approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) before we can receive federal funds.
