behind this is GTAB is looking the Overall Transportation Plan (OTP). GTAB will be making
the determination of what projects will be immediately available for funding consideration;
those projects will then go to GTEC for funding consideration. This Board will be going
through the scoring process for FY 07/08 TIP.
