Statewide Transportation Improvement Program 2020-2023 (STIP)
The Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is a federally mandated 4-year funding and scheduling document for surface transportation projects (road, highway, pedestrian trails, bicycle facilities, bridge facilities and transit projects in Alabama). The STIP is important because federal and state money cannot be spent on projects unless they are listed in the STIP. The STIP must be financially constrained to the estimated federal apportionments. Only projects which construction and operating funds can reasonably be expected to be available are included in the STIP. (ALDOT)
Statewide Transportation Improvement Program 2024-2027 (STIP) Public Involvement Report
The purpose of this report is to document the public involvement activities undertaken by the West Alabama Rural Planning Organization (WARPO) for the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program Fiscal Years 2024-2027 (STIP). The STIP is a prioritized listing of transportation projects that covers a four-year period. The Alabama Department of Transportation is responsible for producing the STIP. In an effort to reach more people, ALDOT enlisted the twelve Alabama RPOs to lead the public involvement phase of the STIP development process. In West Alabama, the WARPO held eight public meetings in seven counties to address the STIP public involvement requirement.
