The Transportation Improvement Program Information System (TIPINS) is designed to provide information about the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) projects in the Dallas-Forth Worth metropolitan planning area. The North Central Texas Council of Governments, the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Dallas-Fort Worth region, developed the information system to assist the public sectors in locating funded transportation projects. Currently, the system contains MPO-selected projects; the next step will be to add selected Texas Department of Transportation projects in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. TIPINS is a user query/GIS Internet site. This Internet site allows the users to search for projects by two methods, a query or an interactive map. The Internet address for the TIPINS is http://www.dfwinfo.com/trans/tipins/index.html. TIPINS was developed using ArcView [Geographic Information System (GIS)] to store the spatial data and Microsoft Access to handle the project information data. Using ArcView the projects were geocoded for a mapped visual representation and the project information data were entered into an Access table. Each project in ArcView and in Access have a project code that is used as a unique identifier. The ArcView files are linked by project code to the basic project information in the Access tables. This report highlights the development of this information system and provides an overview of the information available through the TIPINS Internet site.

The CD-ROM contains the proceedings of the sixth, seventh and eighth conferences. The eighth conference proceedings were published in October 2001.
