Inflation annually reduces the state's capacity to preserve, maintain and modernize the transportation system. Projects funded in the STIP are those that reflect and advance the goals of the Oregon Transportation Plan and its modal elements for highways, public transportation, freight and passenger rail, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The public's input in developing these plans was significant. The public, Area Commissions on Transportation, and local government representatives have also had considerable input into determining the goals for this four-year program, and through those goals, selecting and prioritizing the projects shown herein. Overall, statewide conditions will not improve as a result of implementing this program.
Available revenue is only sufficient to slow the overall decline of system conditions.
If additional funds become available through legislative action, projects will be advanced which will directly improve statewide system conditions. This section is maintained by Jill Vosper .
