State Highway Operations and Protection Plan - A program created by state legislation that includes state highway safety and rehabilitation projects, seismic retrofit projects, land and buildings projects, landscaping, some operational improvements, bridge replacement, and the minor programs - generally those types of projects that Caltrans as the owner-operator of the system must do to maintain the integrity of the system. Unlike STIP projects, SHOPP projects may not increase roadway capacity. SHOPP is a ten-year program of projects with the first four years clearly defined, adopted separately from the STIP cycle.
