What is the timeline and process used to develop the STIP?

There are three main steps in developing the STIP.

  • Program allocation.
  • Project selection.
  • Public review and approval.

Each of these steps are critical in the process and take time to complete.

In 2023, we began working on the 2027-2030 STIP. By summer 2026, the Oregon Transportation Commission will adopt the draft STIP and forward it to the federal government for approval.

Once approved by the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration, we would begin work on the projects in 2027.

Program Allocation

The OTC distributes funding to programs such as system enhancements, preservation, safety, non-highway, and local roads.

Project Selection

The OTC reviews the considerations that guide project selection. ODOT uses data in management systems and advisory committees to create preliminary project lists, estimate costs and schedules, then narrow projects to a final recommended list to include in the draft STIP.

Public Review and Approval

The OTC releases the draft STIP for a formal public comment period. After taking and reviewing public comment, the OTC adopts a revised STIP and forwards it to FHWA and FTA for review and approval.
