The Federal Transit Administration and the Federal Highway Administration did not approve the 2008-11 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP – also known as SIP), a compilation of all of the projects expected to receive federal funding over the next four years.

Patrick’s $2.9 billion transportation bond bill is passed, then this problem goes away.
