Description
Abstract
The 2009-2015 TIP Road Projects layer contains 2009-2015 TIP road alignments.

The layers are static.  The layers represent the 2009-2015 TIP projects as they are defined at the beginning of the 2 year TIP cycle.  Data will not be updated to reflect changes until the beginning of the next 2 year cycle.

The layers contain all trust-fund eligible projects.  The layers do not contain unfunded TIP projects or enhancement, landscape, rail, ferry, bicycle, public transportation, feasibility studies or governor highway safety projects.

The corridors represented in the layer are not definite or final locations.  TIP projects are subject to change during the planning or design process.  All projects are subject to the availability of funds.

The NCDOT GIS Unit obtained the individual 2009-2015 TIP Projects Microstation design file from the NCDOT TIP Unit.  Using automated routines, the GIS Unit extracted the project alignment line segments, intersection points, and bridge points from the Microstation design files and merged them into the appropriate GIS layer.

During the automated process the project number was assigned to the line segments, intersection points, or bridge points representing the project.

To ensure the quality of the layers the GIS Unit compared the online copies of the TIP maps (http://www.ncdot.org/planning/development/TIP/TIP/Trans/) to printed GIS maps showing each project.  The GIS layer was changed to match the online TIP Unit maps.

Additionally, the GIS Unit obtained a list of projects from the TIP Unit that should exist within the layers and compared this list against the list of projects in the GIS layers.  Any discrepancies were resolved so the GIS layer contained all of the projects on the list from the TIP Unit.

The TIP layers developed by the GIS Unit are designed to be used for general planning only; NOT DETAILED DESIGN.

Purpose
The TIP Roads layers were developed to assist in the planning of TIP projects using GIS technologies.

The TIP layers developed by the GIS Unit are designed to be used in general planning only; NOT DETAILED DESIGN.
