In accordance with 23 U.S.C. Section 135 as amended by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), all highway, bikeway, and transit projects in the state funded under Title 23 and the Federal Transit Act must be included in a federally approved, multi-year State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Highway, bikeway, and transit projects must be selected in accordance with the requirements of the specific funding programs and must be consistent with the metropolitan Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs). In addition, it is required that the STIP be consistent with the statewide long-range transportation plan. In 1992 Ohio began development of its plan, known as ACCESS OHIO. ACCESS OHIO, consists of two parts, Phase I, completed in 1993, and Phase II, completed in 1995, and was designed to meet these new requirements and Ohios needs. This effort included establishing the framework for an ongoing statewide transportation planning process. This process will provide for the development of transportation facilities that will function as part of an intermodal statewide transportation system. The STIP must reflect expected funding and project priorities and provide an opportunity for public involvement. In air quality non-attainment and maintenance areas, projects are required to conform to the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments standards. In the individual Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) areas the projects are identified in their TIPs. Projects in rural nonattainment and maintenance areas are listed in the STIP. An explanation of the conformity determinations for these projects is also included in each TIP. Finally, the STIP is to be reviewed and approved at least biennially by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation.
