The Local Alternative Transportation Improvement Program (LATIP) focuses on programming and allocating funds from the sale of surplus properties to support transportation projects and affordable housing initiatives. Properties that were acquired for specific state highway routes and later deemed unnecessary may be sold. All proceeds from the sale of the excess properties, less any reimbursements due to the federal government and all costs incurred in the sale of those excess properties, shall be allocated by the commission to fund the approved local alternative transportation improvement program in the city or county in which the planned facilities were to be located.

The city or county in which the planned facilities were to be located, acting jointly with the transportation planning agency having jurisdiction over the city or county, may develop and file with the commission a local alternative transportation improvement program that addresses transportation problems and opportunities in the county that were to be served by the planned facilities. Funds generated from the sale of excess properties may be used for transportation projects that promote alternatives to driving, such as walking, biking, and public transit, in the same general area as the initially planned highway project. These programs are often linked to specific locations or corridors, such as the SR-710 LATIP.
