"The Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) has coordinated with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to document procedures for developing the Nebraska Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The three parties will review this document for consistency with laws, regulations and best practices at least biannually but more frequently . . . . The STIP is a four-year listing of projects for which Federal-aid funding under Title 23 (Federal Highway Funding) and Title 49 (Federal Transit Assistance) of the United States Code is proposed. The STIP is a programming tool that is approved on a yearly basis. All projects included in the STIP are consistent with the Nebraska Long Range Transportation Plan and the Nebraska Highway Needs Study" (page 1).
