' 6.1 Funding Options <br />As shown at the end of Table 10, full deployment of communications projects to support the <br />City's existing and planned traffic signals and ITS devices will cost approximately $9.5 million. <br />The City's Telecommunications Registration /Licensing Fund and the Oregon Statewide <br />Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) are the two main options available for funding the <br />communications projects included in this plan. The City allocates funding for <br />telecommunications projects on an annual basis to support the City's infrastructure. The STIP <br />allocates federal and state funding within Oregon over a four -year period and is updated every <br />two years. Money from the City's Telecommunications Fund may be used when a local match is <br />required for federal or state funding. Projects that include communications connections to City <br />facilities may also be eligible for support from other City funding programs. <br />DKS Associates Eugene Master Traffic Communications Plan March 2008 <br />' <br />Page 42 <br />
