Abstract	The State transportation improvement program (STIP) includes Highway, Bridge, Bicycle, Pedestrian, Transportation Enhancement Activities and Public Transportation (transit) projects. Project related costs, such as Preliminary Engineering (PE), Right of Way (ROW), and Construction are given for highways, and Capital and Operating costs for public transit. The projects are organized in alphabetical order by county with the same information categories listed for each of them. Projects that extend into multiple counties are shown in the STIP under each county the project enters. The project related cost and mileage for multi-county projects are given for the entire project and not per county. Projects listed in the STIP were identified through the planning process and are important to the states transportation program. Cost estimates for individual projects are based on the best available engineering estimates. These costs may change as a project progresses from preliminary engineering to the purchase of right of way to construction. If these increased costs are the result of a change in the original scope of the project, the STIP will be amended, including the necessary public involvement. If the increased costs are based on updated engineering improvements and not a change in the actual work, no amendment to the STIP is necessary. The STIP is fiscally balanced, including only those projects with funding available or having a reasonable expectation of obtaining funds. Federal funds for fiscal years 2003, 2004 and 2005 are program estimates and will not be final until after the federal budget is implemented on October 1 of each year. This website does not give the full text of the STIP. Rather there is a link for citizens wishing to become involved in the planning process, a funding pie chart, searchable list of transit funding, lump sum funding, and funding by district.
