The State also prepares a composite listing of all projects in the State that are scheduled for funding over four years.  This is called the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP.) A draft STIP is now under review by the State DOT. Information and the list of projects for the entire State can be found at:

Each regional planning agency (including CRCOG) is required to demonstrate that their Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) do not violate the federal Clean Air Act.  This demonstration requires tests for several types of pollutants, for several different analysis years, and for several different analysis areas or districts.  When a new STIP is developed (or a new RTP), the State performs a statewide analysis of projected air quality, based on all projects in the State, analyzed together.  ConnDOT has completed this analysis for the draft STIP/TIPs being considered at this time. The analysis has determined that the Capitol Region’s long range plan and TIP, when combined with all other regional plans and TIPs in the relevant air quality district, pass the test required under current conformity rules.  A summary of the State's findings, plus a link to the full analysis document are available below:
