Transportation Funding Programs
 
 
Introduction
The ODOT Planning Section helps lead and coordinate several statewide Transportation Funding Programs that are further described on this page.  These funding opportunities are all based upon comprehensive multimodal planning and project implementation.  In addition, ODOT has other state and federal funding programs available for project planning, design, right of way, and construction activities.  Click here to view these other funding opportunities.

The Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, known as the STIP, is Oregon's four year transportation capital improvement program. It is the document that identifies the funding for, 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. 

ODOT STIP Home Page

Transportation Planning Section develops STIP policy and guidance on how to select projects or other investments in the transportation system and work with stakeholders to make selections.  Examples include developing the STIP criteria that describes how to approach project selection and how to use the criteria approved by the OTC to select projects.  For more information on these topics see the links below.

 
 
 
ConnectOregon
FreightThe 2011 Oregon Legislature approved $40 million in lottery-backed bonds for the ConnectOregon IV program as part of HB 5036. Building on the success of the first three authorizations in 2005, 2007 and 2009 ConnectOregon IV will continue to improve the connections between the highway system and other modes of transportation.

ConnectOregon funds are being distributed to air, marine, rail, transit and other multimodal projects statewide. No less than 10 percent of ConnectOregon IV funds must be distributed to each of the five regions of the state, provided that there are qualified projects in the region.

Flexible Funds

Collage of transportationThe Flexible Funds Program was created in 2010 by the Oregon Transportation Commission inresponse to requests for a program focused on strategic investments in non-highway transportation projects, programs, and services.  In 2012, after two very successful rounds of project awards in this program, the Oregon Transportation Commission chose to combine the Flexible Funds program with the new Enhance Program for the 2015-2018 STIP update process.  Therefore, this stand-alone program no longer exists.  For more information about the new STIP Enhance Program, please see the STIP Funding Program listed earlier on this page.
