  1. ODOT STIP Process and Funding • Jerri Bohard • Planning Section Manager • Transportation Development Division • Steve Leep • Program and Funding Services Manager • Highway Division Finance Office

  2. Outline of Presentation • Planning Process • Transportation System Planning in Oregon • Area Commissions on Transportation • STIP Process Selection Process

  3. Oregon Transportation Plan Integrated planning Mode/Topic Plans • Aviation • Rail Freight • Bicycle/Pedestrian • Rail Passenger • Highway • Transportation Safety Action • Public Transportation • Willamette Valley Strategy MPO Plans City/County Transportation System Plans Corridor Plans Statewide Transportation Improvement Program MPO Transportation Improvement Programs • Solution Delivery • Maintenance • Operation • System Management • Solution Delivery • Development/Construction • Implementation

  4. Oregon integrates planning • Transportation Planning Rule (1991) • Oregon Transportation Plan (1992) • Oregon Highway Plan (1999) • Local comprehensive plans/transportation system plans (TSPs)

  5. What TSPs do: • 20-year needs based on future land use plans • Specify a network of planned improvements - mostly roads & streets • Make the land use decisionto allow a transportation facility or improvement in a general location

  6. Transportation System Plans (TSPs) • are based on land use plans • adopted by cities and counties • 80% + have adopted TSPs • updated periodically

  7. How a Project Gets Into the STIP

  8. Projects come from… • Project life cycle begins well before the STIP begins • Many projects come from adopted transportation plans, especially modernization projects • Such as TSPs, RTPs, Facility Plans, etc. • Project purpose and need established in plans • Projects also identified using management system data • Such as Safety, Preservation, Bridge

  9. Area Commissions on Transportation • Use plans to prioritize recommendations • Coordinate regional priorities with adjacent Area Commissions, MPOs, and other stakeholder groups • Follow policy adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission in June 2003

  10. Relationship to ODOT • Advise on contents of Statewide Transportation Improvement Program • Provide Forum for public input • Review/approve state highway planning studies • Advise ODOT on local initiatives that affect the state system • ODOT provides commission staff support and technical support to answer questions raised by commission members

  11. STIP Requirements • Federal rules require each state to develop a STIP • The STIP is a project programming and funding tool • The STIP lists projects approved for funding and expected to be initiated for four years • The STIP is fiscally constrained – projects match funding available

  12. STIP Development Process • Process Diagram

  13. Oregon’s STIP • ODOT updates the STIP every two years. • Oregon has a section of the STIP for project studies and preparation (Development-STIP) • Regions can choose to use some of their allocation for D-STIP projects • Projects expected to go to construction within the four years are listed in the Construction STIP

  14. Oregon’s STIP • ODOT works with local governments and interest groups to develop the STIP through advisory committees such as: • Area Commissions on Transportation • MPO Policy Boards • County Coordinating Committees • Freight Advisory Committee • Public Transportation Advisory Committee

  15. Project Eligibility • The OTC has adopted Project Eligibility Criteria and Prioritization Factors for the three largest programs: Modernization, Preservation, and Bridge • The criteria emphasize consistency with local plans and with Oregon Highway Plan policy • The STIP criteria for 08-11 are on the web at www.oregon.gov/ODOT/TD/TP/0811stip.shtml

  16. Project Prioritization • For Modernization, the ACTs, MPOs, and county committees prioritize projects using the OTC criteria and further criteria adopted by the ACT • For other programs, Region staff prioritize the projects based on needs and management system data and often share the list with ACTs & MPOs

  17. Modernization Program • Modernization follows a different timeline than the other Programs. • ACTs and MPOs are vital to the selection of Mod projects. • ACTs, in cooperation with the MPOs, produce the initial list of “needs” • ACTs decide on the priority ranking for their local area • ACTs actively work with Region managers to decide the final list for the Draft and Final STIP

  18. Public Review of Draft STIP • Public Review Process • 45-day review period • At least two public meetings in each Region (All the Regions choose to hold more than two) • All public comments are reviewed and considered by ODOT managers and OTC as the Draft STIP is reviewed.

  19. Completing the STIP process • ODOT staff must submit summary reports showing how projects meet OTC criteria where applicable • OTC must approve final STIP, after public comment • Air quality analysis is performed by the MPOs and ODOT. • MPO’s updated TIP’s are added to the Draft STIP • FHWA & FTA must approve ODOT’s STIP • Current STIP is 06-09, available at: www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/STIP/index.shtml

  20. A new STIP is in place!

  21. STIP Tools and Resources • Information about the current 2006-2009 STIP is available at www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/STIP/index.shtml • Information about the 2008-2011 STIP including approved criteria is available at www.oregon.gov/ODOT/TD/TP/0811stip.shtml • The STIP Primer Brochure and the STIP Users’ Guide explain more about the process, available at www.oregon.gov/ODOT/TD/TP/0811stip.shtml
