We want to hear from you.
Our goal for this online open house is to see if you support or have concerns about the proposed projects. If you have concerns about any of the proposed projects and their possible impacts, we want to hear about them.
Together we can make sure we're designing and constructing the right projects for our communities. Thank you for taking the time to explore the proposed projects, be sure to share your thoughts in our interactive map.

STIP stands for Statewide Transportation Improvement Program.
This is our capital improvement plan for state and federally-funded projects. As we develop the STIP, we coordinate with interested parties and community members.
The Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) is in the final steps of identifying where to spend more than $3 billion to preserve and improve the state's transportation system.
Every three years, the commission puts together the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, also known as the STIP, that lays out where we will invest federal and state money in the transportation system - everything from roads and bridges to public transportation to bike paths and sidewalks. Along with the commission, we develop the STIP with a wide variety of participants, including cities, counties, many other partners and the public.
This STIP looks ahead at funding projects in 2024 through 2027. The commission started developing the STIP in 2020, by deciding how to split state and federal funding among different areas, like bridge and pavement preservation, expanding roads and interchanges, public and active transportation, and local government programs. We’ve spent the last two years selecting the most critical projects and now have a draft list of proposed investments to get your feedback on.
The Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) began work on the 2024-2027 STIP in 2020.
There are three steps to developing the 2024-2027 STIP:
After we hear from you during the formal comment period, the OTC will adopt a revised STIP and forward it for review and approval by the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration.
-
Funding allocation: The OTC split funding among different programs such as enhance highway, fix-it, safety, ADA curb ramps and local programs.
-
Project selection: The OTC reviewed the considerations that guide project selection. We created preliminary project lists and estimated costs and schedules. We then narrowed our list down to the proposed projects shown in the draft STIP.
-
Public review and approval: The OTC put the draft STIP out for your feedback during a formal public comment period.
You can learn more about the proposed projects in the 2024-2027 STIP by looking at the interactive map and our fact sheets.
Or check out the full list of proposed projects in the draft STIP.
The STIP has more than $3.3 billion in total state and federal funding. This comes from House Bill 2017 and the federal infrastructure bill.
If a project isn't showing construction funding in the draft STIP, it could mean:
-
The project is a "shelf project". This means we'll design the project to a certain point and then pause, or "put it on the shelf", until construction funding is available. By having some shelf projects, if more funding becomes available, we can usually start construction pretty quickly.
-
We're planning to construct, but the construction funding is being held in reserve or a "funding bucket". As projects finish design, we'll have a better understanding of how much construction will cost based on current market conditions and can assign a more accurate amount of funding from the bucket.
How the funding is split among programs
Learn more about each funding category by clicking on the tabs below.
Fix-it
The Fix-It category of the STIP funds projects that fix or preserve the state's transportation system, including bridges, pavement, culverts, traffic signals, etc.
We use data about the conditions of these items to choose the highest priority projects.
In recent STIPs, the OTC has allocated the most funding to Fix-It programs.
You can learn more about the Fix-It program by viewing the process document.
Safety
The safety program's goal is to reduce deaths and injuries on Oregon’s roads. This includes the All Roads Transportation Safety program (ARTS), which selects projects through a data-driven process to ensure resources have maximum impact on improving the safety of Oregon’s state highways and local roads.
One way we do this is by using the safety priority index system (SPIS) to look at crash data as a way to score or prioritize sites. You can learn more about the SPIS by reading our fact sheet.
Focusing on reducing fatal and serious injury crashes.
Enhance highway
The enhance highway program funds projects that enhance or expand and upgrade the state highway system. It's usually a smaller slice of the STIP budget.
Enhance projects can include a wide range of investments like new lanes and interchange improvements.
You can learn more about the enhance highway program by reading the program outline approved by the Oregon Transportation Commission.
Public and active transportation
We strive to build and maintain an equitable, accessible and climate friendly multi-modal public and active transportation network across the state.
By increasing Oregonians’ access to public transportation and promoting biking and walking as a means of travel, we can improve community connection, public health and our environment.
This program includes bicycle, pedestrian, public transportation and other transportation options. You can learn more by reading our program fact sheet.
Local government programs
We manage programs that fund or support projects on local roadways. This funding goes to cities, counties and others for priority projects.
You can learn more about local government funding on our webpage.
ADA curb ramps
We want to make sure our highways work whether you drive, ride, walk or roll. Part of that is constructing curb ramps to make sidewalks accessible for everyone.
In 2017, we began work to bring 25,000+ curb ramps into compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards over the next fifteen years.
You can learn more about our ADA program on our webpage.
Other
The other program includes planning and data collection, workforce development and administrative programs funded using federal money.
This includes transportation and facility plan work that is done by our planning program with local jurisdictions.

Highlighted Programs

The Oregon Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program includes education, construction, planning and equity work. We work with our partners and community members to promote livable, vibrant communities that increase physical activity, social connections and educational opportunities around walking and rolling.
Our SRTS program provides grant funding and technical assistance to communities across Oregon. Its success relies on partnerships between public, private and non-profit organizations at the local, regional and state levels.
Great Streets is a funding program that addresses safety improvements and increases access to walking, biking and transit.
Focusing on "main streets" in communities around the state, proposed projects must improve safety and multimodal access (walking, biking and transit) on state highways.
