The Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is a four year planning document that lists all projects expected to be funded in those four years with Federal funds and those State Funded projects that have been deemed Regionally Significant. Regionally Significant Projects are defined as though projects that are on a facility which serves regional transportation needs and would normally be included in the modeling of the metropolitan areas transportation network. At a minimum, this includes all principal arterial highways and all fixed guide way transit facilities that offer a significant alternative to regional highway travel. This present STIP document covers state fiscal years 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), Office of Intermediate Range Planning, develops this document in cooperation with the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and in consultation with the Rural Planning Organizations (RPOs) and Non-Metropolitan local officials. The MPOs are responsible for developing their Transportation Improvement Programs (TIP). The TIP documents are required to cover a period not less than four years and include State and Local projects. INDOT reviews and approves the TIPs for incorporation into the STIP via reference. This comprehensive process completes the Three C components of transportation planning. |
