What is the STIP?
Current FHWA/FTA Approved STIP
Approved 11/26/2012
The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) (PDF) is Minnesota’s four year transportation improvement program. The STIP identifies the schedule and funding of transportation projects by state fiscal year (July 1 through June 30). It includes all state and local transportation projects with federal highway and/or federal transit funding along with 100% state funded transportation projects. Rail, port, and aeronautic projects are included for information purposes. The STIP is developed/updated on an annual basis.
How is the STIP developed?
Minnesota has both a decentralized and centralized programming process. A majority of the expected federal highway and transit funds are “targeted” to the Area Transportation Partnerships (ATP) for the selection of federally funded projects in the STIP. Federal funds that are not targeted to the ATPs are used for major Statewide bridge and corridor projects that are solicited and awarded centrally. Wholly funded state projects are selected by the eight MnDOT district offices through their district planning processes. Public input is provided by the ATPs and MnDOT at various points within the STIP development process. The Guidance for the Development of the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) (PDF) provides more detailed information about MnDOT’s programming process. The STIP is updated on an annual basis.
Can changes be made to the STIP?
Once a STIP is approved by the Federal Highway Authority (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Authority (FTA), major changes to federally funded projects must be approved through a formal amendment process by FHWA/FTA. Lesser changes or the correction of incorrect information in the STIP can be accomplished through the Administrative Modification process which does not require federal approval. FHWA and MnDOT have developed Guidance for STIP Amendments and Administrative Modifications (PDF).
Any plans for future STIPs?
MnDOT is investigating various options for developing a Live STIP that would be kept up-to-date with project cost and timing changes. This project is presently in the early stages of investigation.
