Maintenance, Rehabilitation, and Expansion

 Care and upkeep of State highways and transportation facilities. Primary

focus is the preservation, upkeep, and restoration of the roadway structures.

 State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP)

 Identify and fund the rehabilitation and reconstruction needs of State

highways and bridges. The SHOPP focuses on areas that are beyond the scope of maintenance, and require significantly higher levels of capital investment.

• System. STIP funding is split between state and local projects, with 25%

going to the state, and 75% for locally chosen projects. STIP projects can include expansion of highway lanes, transit and rail services, or other areas that increase the capacity for travel.
