F1NAL 2008-2011 STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM <br />At the close of the public review period, considering comments received from the public, the re- <br />gions had the opportunity to reprioritize their programs, dropping or delaying projects that fell <br />outside the forecasted revenue levels. <br />Mailing List: The draft was mailed to, and made available for public review, at all public librar- <br />ies, cities, counties, MPOs, and ODOT region and district offices. The draft was also available <br />on the ODOT website. Additionally, documents were mailed directly to anyone who requested a <br />copy. <br />In an effort to reduce printing and mailing costs, users were encouraged to use the website for <br />up-to-date STIP information. Largely due to the website, the mailing list has been reduced from <br />over 2,600 entries (for the 2000-2003 STIP) to about 346 entries (for the 2008-2011 STIP). <br />Response to Comments: Region staff summarized public comments from all meetings and, in <br />some cases, recommended changes to the program based on public input. All summaries were <br />made available to the 2007 Oregon Legislature via ODOT's Government Liaison Office. In ad- <br />dition, staff responded in writing to all public inputs and solicitations for information. <br />Page 392 <br />
