STIP stands for
Statewide Transportation Improvement Program. The STIP is how we allocate state and federal project dollars. It is a financially constrained multimodal program that lays out where we will invest transportation project funding during a four-year period, in this case, 2027-2030.
The STIP includes a range of projects – everything from roads and bridges to public transportation to bike paths and sidewalks.
The Oregon Transportation Commission and ODOT develop the STIP in coordination with a variety of participants including cities, counties, partners, and the public.
Connecting Near-term Financing with Long-range Plans
In the past year, you may have heard us talk about the
capital investment plan with the OTC. How are the CIP and the STIP different, you might wonder. The CIP is a 10-year, rolling planning document we use to manage the gap between our long-range capital improvement plans and the short-term budget and STIP delivery. The CIP informs STIP project priorities, selection, and timing.
How will the CIP help ODOT deliver projects Oregonians care about?
Investments identified in the CIP will come from asset data and information, plans and studies, and Area Commissions on Transportation lists. Concepts will be prioritized to advance outcomes including safety, state of good repair, and mobility and accessibility, as well as considering climate and equity impacts.
Several other state departments of transportation have transitioned to a CIP-like process. We met with agency representatives from Minnesota, Colorado, Nevada, and elsewhere to identify and adapt best practices.
What is the status of ODOT’s CIP?
The first iteration of the CIP will be developed by the end of 2026, covering the time period of 2027-2037, including the work delivered through this proposed STIP.
