About the STIP
The Oregon Transportation Commission is in the final steps of identifying where to spend more than $3 billion to preserve and improve the state's transportation system.
Every three years, the commission puts together the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, also known as the STIP, that lays out where we will invest federal and state money in the transportation system - everything from roads and bridges to public transportation to bike paths and sidewalks. Along with the commission, we develop the STIP with a wide variety of participants, including cities, counties, many other partners and the public.
This STIP looks all the way out to funding projects in 2024 through 2027. The commission started developing the STIP in 2020 by deciding how to allocate state and federal funding among different areas, like bridge and pavement preservation, expanding roads and interchanges, public and active transportation, and local government programs. We’ve spent the last two years selecting the most critical projects and now have a draft list of proposed investments to present for public comment.
What Does this STIP Invest In?
The 2024-2027 STIP invests more than $3.3 billion in total state and federal resources in preserving and improving Oregon’s transportation system. This is more than past STIPs thanks to significant increases in funding from the 2021 federal infrastructure bill and state funding approved in 2017.
The STIP includes:
- A major investment in repairing and replacing deteriorating bridges.
- A significant increase for public and active transportation to help people get around.
- Increased funding for projects that improve safety on state highways and local roads.
- More money for local governments to invest in their priorities.
- A major investment in ADA curb ramps to help people with disabilities get around.
- For the first time, the ODOT construction projects in the
STIP were evaluated for their greenhouse gas emissions.
