Statewide Transportation Improvement Program

The Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is Oregon’s four-year transportation capital improvement program identifying prioritization, funding, and scheduling of transportation projects and programs. It includes projects on the federal, state, city and county transportation systems, multimodal projects (highway, passenger rail, freight, public transit, bicycle and pedestrian), and projects in the National Parks, National Forests and Indian tribal lands. While new Federal regulations require that each state produce a STIP at least once every four years, Oregon is continuing to produce a new STIP every two years. By federal regulation, the STIP must include the MPO's Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) without change.

Oregon’s currently approved program is the 2008-2011 STIP, adopted by the Oregon Transportation commission and approved by USDOT on January 16, 2008.

Development of the 2010-2013 STIP is underway. The draft STIP document has been released (see Downloads, below);  several public events have been scheduled to enable the public to review the program. Further information is available on the ODOT STIP web page and on the MPO's news page.

Bridge, preservation, safety, operations, and modernization projects proposed for 2012 and 2013 were evaluated for consistency with the Project Eligibility Criteria and Prioritizing Factors adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission.  The MPO policy board (MPC) reviewed potential modernization projects on or contributing to the operation of the state highway system in the MPO area . The board's  prioritized recommendations were forwarded to ODOT for funding consideration.  Information on the MPC discussions can be found with the meeting materials for January through March, 2008. 

Transit projects and local agency projects that are regionally significant and/or federally funded and that are expected to commence within the 2010-2013 period must be included in the 2010-2013 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP).  Development of this program is expected to begin in late fall 2008 and continue through spring 2009.  Thus, at this time, the current DRAFT 2010-2013 STIP does not include the full suite of local projects.

Projects scheduled for 2010 and 2011 in the approved 2008-2011 STIP will be examined for continued need, funding levels, and timing, and will be carried forward into the 2010-2013 STIP.
