Proceedings of the 5th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2014, Dresden, Germany<br/>The FNAL Proton Source is currently undergoing a major improvement effort. A plan has been developed and is underway to increase Proton Source throughput while maintaining good availability and acceptable residual activation. The plan addresses hardware modifications to increase repetition rate and improve beam loss while ensuring viable operation of the proton source through 2025. The PIP goals will enable Linac/Booster to: Deliver 2.25·10¹⁷ protons per hour with a 15 HZ cycle rate Availability greater than 85% Maintain residual activation at acceptable levels. The work has been progressing on schedule and is expected to finished by 2018.<br/>
