These projects were publicly noticed with Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Amendments for Public Review June 24, 2019

** The 2018-2021 STIP Rebalance Amendments now available online **

Hello from ODOT! We want to let you know about the most recent changes to projects in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, or STIP. As you may know, we periodically alert you that we have made amendments to these projects, and we’re inviting you to visit the website, review the amendments and provide us your feedback. If you know someone who is interested in STIP amendments, please forward this note to them so they can sign up to receive these alerts! Why are projects being changed? Amendments are required when there are certain adjustments to projects, such as a change in the cost or in the project size/scope/location. These amendments are being made to projects that have already been reviewed and approved and in many cases are moving along in their progress. Remember, you can always update your subscriptions, including unsubscribing to this list (see links below) at any time. Key information: Website where we will post amendments to STIP projects: https://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/STIP/Pages/Current-Future-STIP.aspx#amendments

23 CFR § 450.316 requires explicit consideration and response to public comment received during the  program development process. Public, staff, agency, and other interested party comments received prior  to the adoption hearing are first reviewed by staff. Comments requiring minor revisions are addressed by  staff. Such comments might include requests for additional information or clarification of information.  Comments on policy issues or specific projects will be considered by the Policy Board at the public  hearing. Comment received during the public hearing will be discussed at the public hearing. The Policy  Board and staff will determine the most appropriate manner to respond to comments received. If  significant changes to the proposed MTIP are recommended as a consequence, a revised final draft  document will be resubmitted to the public for an additional review and comment period. Copies are free  of charge and, upon request, will be made available in CD, print, and accessible formats. Upon request,  in advance of the meeting, through any of the means listed above, every effort will be made to prepare  materials in other formats and in languages other than English, and to provide interpreters in American Sign Language and other languages. Assistive listening devices and large-print materials will be available  at the meeting upon request. The Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC), which is the FTA  Section 5307(c) applicant, has consulted with the MPO and concurs that the public involvement process  adopted by the MPO for the development of the MTIP satisfies the public hearing requirements that  pertain to the development of the Program of Projects for regular Section 5307, Urbanized Area Formula  Program, grant applications, including the provision for public notice and the time established for public  review and comment.
