Transform Transportation Improvement Programs (TIP)

The Challenge

Fragmented inputs are slowing down your STIP

Your STIP has to pull together project data from every district, every MPO, and multiple funding programs — and most of it still arrives in spreadsheets and aging databases that don't talk to each other.

Every amendment means manual reconciliation across programs, and when leadership, FHWA, or the legislature asks why a project made the cut, the rationale is scattered across email threads and workbooks nobody can reassemble.

The Solution

One statewide program, in one place

Decision Lens brings your entire STIP into a single decision environment, from statewide prioritization through amendments and reporting, so district and MPO inputs roll up consistently and every change flows through without duplicate data entry.

Build your STIP from scored, prioritized project data, tied to your performance targets.
Track amendments and scope changes through approval with dynamic statuses, across every connected program.
Keep rationale, activity, and reporting in one shared platform your partners and stakeholders can see.

How it Works

From statewide prioritization through reporting, in one place

Prioritize across programs

Gather project data from districts, MPOs, and planning partners through multiple channels, then score and prioritize against configurable criteria aligned to your statewide goals and federal performance measures. Compare program options and communicate the tradeoffs behind each one with confidence.

Manage amendments and updates

Once the STIP is approved, the real work begins. Track amendments, cost changes, and scope updates through approval with dynamic statuses, then push approved changes out to every connected district and MPO program automatically.

Report and defend

Engage districts, MPOs, leadership, and the public in a shared platform that keeps communication, activity, and reporting in one place, so your program stays transparent and every decision carries its rationale.

Customer Stories

State DOTs programming with confidence

Arkansas Department of Transportation

Little Rock, AR

ArDOT needed a repeatable, defensible way to prioritize projects across STIP cycles. Decision Lens provided a configurable platform for project intake, criteria weighting, scoring, and resource optimization. Over more than a decade of use, ArDOT has maintained one consistent framework it adjusts each cycle, strengthening transparency and defensibility.

Texas Department of Transportation

Austin, TX

TxDOT districts needed to bring pavement condition and related data into a single, consistent basis for selecting preventive maintenance projects. Decision Lens brought that data together and let teams weigh configurable criteria to produce transparent, ranked project lists — moving from disparate sources to a repeatable, data-driven selection process.

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet

Frankfort, KY

KYTC needed to end the manual rework that every schedule, funding, or priority change triggered in its Six-Year Highway Plan. Decision Lens provided a structured environment for scoring projects against performance measures and building financially constrained scenarios. KYTC now compares strategies across preservation, safety, mobility, economic growth, and resiliency, and can clearly explain how investment decisions were made.

How We're Different

One platform, built for how State DOTs work

One statewide program, districts and MPOs included

Roll up inputs from every district and MPO, and keep approved amendments flowing across connected programs with a full audit trail.

Change it yourself, same day

Updates to your criteria and framework are configurable in-house by your users — no vendor ticket, queue, or change order required.

Advanced in-app mapping

Establish project boundaries with points, lines or polygons without leaving the platform and push or pull data from ArcGIS on your timeline.
