MoDOT, working with its regional planning partners, has outlined a draft High Priority Unfunded Needs listing, which identifies $1.1 billion in annual unfunded transportation needs for the system.
The list was created to guide the development of needs into future work as state and federal transportation funds become available in future years.
The full draft document includes $4.7 billion in road and bridge needs in three tiers.
- Tier one includes $552 million and is made up of needs that could be accomplished in the time of the current five-year Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) as federal and state funding levels become available. These needs have good estimates.
- Tier two is worth $2.1 billion and includes needs beyond the current STIP timeframe with broader estimates.
- Tier three includes $2 billion of needs also beyond the current STIP timeframe with broader estimates.
- In addition, MoDOT staff worked with planning partners to identify $1 billion in multimodal needs.
The public is invited to join the discussion on high priority unfunded transportation needs in their areas. The list of meeting locations as well as the draft document and comment forms will be available online through Aug. 31 at modot.org/unfundedneeds.
