Office of Projects/Plan Coordination
The Office of Projects/Plan Coordination was created in November 2000 to manage the resources for Project Initiation Documents (PIDs) in the Districts. (A PID is required to be developed and approved before any project can be programmed and constructed on the State Highway System and is seen as the bridge between Planning and Project Delivery).
The Office of Projects/Plans Coordination (OPPC) places an emphasis on providing resources for PIDs that have been identified in a plan, such as a Regional Transportation Plan or the 10-Year SHOPP Plan, and linking them to a reasonable opportunity to be programmed through a funding cycle. This increased level of coordination between Planning and Programming, Traffic Operations, Maintenance and Project Delivery is essential to ensure that funding for PIDs results in projects that are properly scheduled.
Curtis Davis is the Chief of the Office of Projects/Plans Coordination

- The Project Initiation Development Management Branch includes one Senior Transportation Planner, and four Associate Transportation Planners. This branch is responsible for tracking PID work progress to ensure timely delivery of PIDs within approved cost and schedule, preparing quarterly Statewide STIP and SHOPP Summary Reports, and the overall fiscal management of the PID program
