Title
Draft 2026-2035 State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) Update (20 minutes)
Filmon Fishastion, TPO Staff
Narrative
The draft 2026-2035 STIP was released on January 29, 2025. This draft includes new projects that were recently awarded funding from the Statewide Strategic Prioritization 7.0 Cycle. Due to limited funding availability, new projects were selected for funding in only four (4) Strategic Transportation Investment (STI) categories: Statewide Mobility, Regions C and D, and Division 6. Triangle West TPO did receive funding for new projects, and TPO staff are working closely with NCDOT to understand schedule changes and that are affecting existing projects in the draft STIP. These are outlined in the attached presentation.
NCDOT has been running a public comment period from January 31, 2025 to April 4, 2025 with drop in sessions between February 17 and March 17, 2025. The final STIP is expected to be adopted in July, 2025.
In the attachments are a presentation outlining the process for the development of the draft STIP and an update on the statewide prioritization process and locally selected projects. Also attached are tables comparing the two categories of projects.
