Scoping Guide
 
The Project Scoping Guidebook outlines the processes necessary to satisfy the first milestone step in Operational Notice PD-02, Draft Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for state projects.
 
The intent of the Guidebook is to provide guidance on best practices for STIP Development Scoping to Regions within ODOT. Project Scoping Teams should utilize the Guidebook and this Web page as tools to ensure that pertinent issues are considered and evaluated when planning and conducting scoping efforts. The Guidebook outlines the processes, procedures and tools currently used by ODOT Regions to complete annual scoping in support of the STIP.
 
Guidance on project scoping is provided in the Resource Section below.
