DRAFT 2010-2013 STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM <br />DEVELOPMENT STIP AND STATE- <br />WIDE SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS <br />The Oregon Transportation Commission ap- <br />proved definitions and project lists for the <br />Development STIP and Statewide Signifi- <br />cant Projects at their May 2002 meeting. <br />Development STIP <br />The types of projects that tend to have one <br />or more of the above characteristics include: <br />large statewide significant projects, feder- <br />ally-earmarked or demonstration projects, <br />Modernization or major Bridge Replacement <br />projects, and discretionary projects (projects <br />eligible to receive federal discretionary <br />funds). <br />D-STIP projects are those projects approved <br />and funded for development through spe- <br />cific milestones and within specific time- <br />frames, which include the following charac- <br />teristics: <br />1. Projects approved for funding through <br />specific milestones, such as NEPA de- <br />sign-level environmental documents, <br />right-of--way acquisition, and final plans; <br />or <br />2. Projects for which needed improvements <br />have been identified but a final solution <br />has not been determined, or which need <br />further design and analysis. <br />Large Statewide Significant Projects <br />Large statewide significant projects are pro- <br />jects that require funding that cannot be <br />achieved within standard STIP allocations, <br />but are viewed by the agency as projects of <br />statewide significance. Identified funds <br />would be used to either keep existing work <br />on very large projects current, or to support <br />development of very large projects (for ex- <br />ample, funding an EIS or updating an exist- <br />ing EIS). <br />Page 199 <br />
