Regional Transportation Improvement Plan

STIP Environmental Justice Focus Area Map

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) updates the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) on a biannual basis.  The STIP is Ohio’s four-year transportation planning document which presents the fiscally balanced, multi-modal transportation program for the State of Ohio.  Included are projects both federal and state funded scheduled for some phase of implementation during the four year period.  As a designated Regional Transportation Planning Organization (RTPO), OMEGA develops a Regional Transportation Improvement Plan (RTIP) for Carroll, Columbiana, Coshocton, Guernsey, Harrison, Holmes, Muskingum, and Tuscarawas Counties which is directly included in the STIP for the State Fiscal Years 20241-2027. The RTIP will contain Regionally Significant Projects, Grouped Projects, and unfunded RTPO Projects.

During September and October 2022, OMEGA hosted Rural Consultation meetings. These meetings are designed to disseminate information about ODOT-programmed projects and collect feedback about potential projects within local areas. These events are also an opportunity to gather information about local projects that may be added to the RTIP or Long-Range Transportation Plan. 

Beginning in March 2023, OMEGA will host public outreach and engagement meetings via a Facebook/YouTube livestream and in person at locations thoughout the region. OMEGA encourages all residents and elected officials throughout our eight county region to participate. 

Projects may be submitted to OMEGA at anytime for addition to the RTIP or Long-Range Transportation Plan. Please submit projects by clicking HERE.
