FINAL 2008-2011 STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM <br />STIP DEVELOPMENT PROCESS <br />OVERVIEW <br />Process Description and Participants <br />The STIP document is a compilation of mul- <br />tiple project review and programming ef- <br />forts that are carried out by different organi- <br />zations. Each has its own procedures. <br />ODOT is responsible for coordinating these <br />separate processes and for integrating the <br />programs that emerge from them into a sin- <br />gle document -the STIP. Coordinating <br />these processes and making sure the projects <br />that are approved through them are included <br />in the STIP is complex and challenging. <br />Table 1 outlines the programming work that <br />is compiled in the STIP. <br />The person responsible for managing the <br />process is the Statewide STIP Manager. The <br />Statewide STIP Coordinator manages the <br />project data for the STIP. Each ODOT re- <br />gion also has a Region STIP Coordinator. <br />This team is responsible for ensuring that all <br />the projects approved through these separate <br />processes are compiled into the STIP docu- <br />ment. <br />Table 1-STIP Programming Processes and Participants <br />Programming Lead Advisory Body Comment <br />Process <br />1. Modernization ODOT regions ACTs A statewide formula is used to allo- <br />Program cate available funding to ODOT re- <br /> gions. Each region then manages the <br /> Modernization program using its <br /> own rocess. <br />2. Data-driven ODOT Combination of There are Oregon Transportation <br />Programs state-level advi- Management Systems (OTMS) for <br /> sort' committees, bridges, pavement, safety, public <br /> region staff, and transit, traffic monitoring, conges- <br /> ACTs tion, and intermodal, which are used <br /> to identify and prioritize projects. <br /> Large culvert improvement, fish pas- <br /> sage, and slides and rockfalls also <br /> use data to identify and prioritize <br /> projects, although they are not part of <br /> OTMS. <br />3. Statewide ODOT Combination of There are separate competitive proc- <br />Competitive statewide advisory esses for Bicycle/Pedestrian, Trans- <br />Programs committees and portation Enhancement, and Federal <br /> ACTS Lands Highways programs. A por- <br /> tion of funding for these programs <br /> maybe reserved in a "bucket" from <br /> which later awards are made. <br />Page 6 <br />
