DRAFT 2010-2013 STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM <br />list and prioritize freight needs in many pro- <br />gram areas of the STIP, especially in mod- <br />ernization and bridge. Freight needs are an <br />important part of the STIP. The OTC- <br />adopted STIP Project Eligibility Criteria and <br />Prioritization Factors for 2010-2013 specifi- <br />cally include support of freight mobility as a <br />prioritization factor for modernization and <br />bridge projects. During the 2010-2013 STIP <br />development, OFAC provided technical ad- <br />vice to ACTs and ODOT on projects that <br />support freight mobility. Further informa- <br />tion about the Oregon Freight Advisory <br />Committee is available at: <br />http://www.oregon. gov/ODOT/TD/FREIGH <br />T/ofac.shtml. <br />STIP Stakeholder Committee <br />The STIP Stakeholder Committee was <br />formed in 2000 to study the STIP process. <br />The committee made a variety of recom- <br />mendations including that the OTC adopt <br />project eligibility criteria and prioritization <br />factors for certain programs. Criteria are <br />now adopted by the OTC for the Moderniza- <br />tion, Pavement Preservation, and State <br />Bridge programs. For further information <br />on the STIP Stakeholder Committee, see: <br />http://e og v.ore~on.~ov/ODOT/TD/TP/public <br />Involvement.shtml <br />A further recommendation was that ODOT <br />develop documentation explaining how the <br />STIP is developed for the public, partici- <br />pants such as ACTs and local governments, <br />and as a reference for staff. Those products <br />are the STIP Citizen's Primer brochure and <br />the STIP Users' Guide, which has more de- <br />tailed information about the STIP project se- <br />lection process for programs and the ODOT <br />regions. These are both available at: <br />http://www.ore~on• Gov/ODOT/HWY/STIP/. <br />Page 28 <br />
