The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) requires the development of a Statewide Transportation Improvement Program. The STIP must include the capital and most non-capital transportation projects proposed for funding under Title 23 United States Code (USC) (highways) and Title 49 USC (transit). The STIP must also contain all regionally significant transportation projects that require an action by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or the Federal Transit Authority (FTA) whether or not funding from either agency is anticipated. The document is intended for use by the transportation partners involved in this process and, by design, provides an overall general framework of the Area Transportation Improvement Program (ATIP)/State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) process. Any questions with regard to content or relating to the process should be directed to the appropriate District office. A list of Mn/DOT Transportation District Offices is provided in Appendix A. 109 p.92
