Every March, the Office of Work Program and Budget (OWPB) provides the districts the Tentative Work Program that is to be adopted on July 1ˢᵗ. The Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO) Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) incorporates the Tentative Work Program and is also adopted on July 1ˢᵗ. Year 1 of the TIP and the Work Program should always match. However, when the new TIP and Work Program become adopted on July 1ˢᵗ, there are often projects which were intended to be authorized prior to June 30^th (i.e., when the previous TIP and Work Program were in effect) but did not. These projects will automatically roll forward in the Work Program (and in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)) but not in the TIP. Hence, there is a need to reconcile the two documents and bring the TIP up to date. This is accomplished by what is known as a roll forward TIP amendment. Around mid to late July, the OWPB posts the roll forward report online. This report lists, by district, those projects which did not get authorized by the end of the last federal fiscal year and have been rolled forward in the newly adopted Work Program. The districts provide this list to the MPO, and the MPO uses this list to process a roll forward TIP amendment.

An MPO can do a roll forward TIP amendment as soon as the roll forward report is published. However, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) will not recognize the approval of the roll forward TIP amendment until after October 1^st, the effective date of the new MPO TIP. Please note that there is no need for the MPOs to request a roll forward STIP amendment because these roll forward projects are already included in the new STIP, to be effective on October 1^st.
