Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The STIP is a multi-year capital improvement document which denotes the scheduling and funding of construction projects across the state over a minimum 4 year time period as required by Federal law. North Carolina’s STIP covers a 10 year period, with the first six years referred to as the delivery STIP and the latter four years as the developmental STIP. Per 23 CFR 450.216 & 23 U.S. Code § 135 STIP’s must also:</SPAN></P><UL><LI><P><SPAN>Be submitted to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) & Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for approval at least every 4 years</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>Be fiscally constrained by year</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>Include all capital and non-capital projects using Title 23 USC or Title 49 USC funds, other than certain safety, planning, and research funds</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>Include metropolitan TIPs (Transportation Improvement Projects) from Metropolitan Planning Organizations</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>Provide public comment opportunity on STIP document</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>And include the following information:</SPAN></P><UL><LI><P><SPAN>Project description and termini</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>Estimated total cost (NCDOT includes Utility, R/W, and Construction costs)</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>Federal funds to be obligated</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>Responsible agency (such as municipality)</SPAN></P></LI></UL></LI></UL><P><SPAN>The STIP contains funding information and schedules for transportation modes and programs including: Highways, Aviation, Bicycle and Pedestrian, Ferry, Public Transportation, Rail, Governor’s Highway Safety and statewide related programs.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The transportation program in the STIP is organized in an Excel file that can be sorted and filtered as needed by the reader. The information included for each project includes details on the location of the project: County, NCDOT Highway Division, Route, Description, and Planning Organization. Projects also list the STI category they are funded from, i.e., Statewide Mobility, Regional Impact, or Division Needs. The phases of projects (such as Right of Way (R), Utility relocation (U), and Construction (C) are listed by Fiscal Year along with their costs and anticipated funding sources. For those projects with their first phase of work beginning in the second half of the STIP (years 2031-2035), they are listed as “Funded for Preliminary Engineering Only.” The Department will begin Preliminary Engineering activities (environmental documentation and design work) at the appropriate time, but the project will need to compete for funding in a future round of Prioritization and therefore the funding years for phases are unknown at this time. (See next section titled “Strategic Prioritization” for details on project prioritization.)</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>All projects require extensive planning, environmental impact and design studies.
