FFY 2020-2024 STP - Shared Fund Recommended Programs (Excel)

The recommended program of seventeen projects totaling over $196 million, was developed by applying the technical methodology adopted by the STP Project Selection Committee to evaluate and score projects based on their readiness, regional transportation impact, and support of regional planning factors. Funds were programmed for the highest scoring projects by the phase and fiscal year requested within the fiscal constraints of each program year. If a request could not be fully accommodated, funds were either programmed in a later year or the project was not recommended for funding. The STP Project Selection Committee also requested comments on this programming process, including consideration for developing a revised recommendation that would offer partial funding to projects that were not recommended in the draft program because they could not be fully funded. This approach would increase funding for higher ranked projects as long as their sponsors agree to provide additional local funding, and would reduce funding available for lower ranked projects.

STP - Shared Fund

The STP - Shared Fund scoring was available for applicant review through Wednesday, June 19, 2019.  Following the receipt of applicant comments, scores were adjusted to determine all projects’ final ranking, which was used to develop the staff recommended active and contingency programs above. 

All submitted applications were reviewed in all appropriate project categories, regardless of eligibility determination for a preliminary score. Upon completion of the preliminary scoring, projects that did not meet eligibility criteria were removed, along with all lower-scoring instances of each project that was scored in multiple categories. The need and improvement scores, which are calculated relative to all applications within each project type, were adjusted based on the final set of highest scoring eligible projects to determine the STP - Shared Fund Scoring.  Details of the scoring and evaluation process are available in the Scoring Documentation.
