On an annual basis, MoDOT staff work together with planning partners across the state to update a list of high-priority unfunded road and bridge needs.
The draft 2026 High-Priority Unfunded Needs (HPUN) listing is now available on MoDOT's website. This document identifies $4.7 billion in unfunded transportation needs for the system and guides the development of future funded projects as state and federal transportation dollars become available. The new HPUN Dashboard allows users to filter and see the needs broken down by tier, region, legislative district or county.
The draft HPUN is divided into three tiers:
-
Tier one includes $541 million of needs that could be accomplished in the current five-year Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) as federal and state funding is made available. These needs have more refined estimates.
- Tier two outlines $2 billion of needs that go beyond the current STIP timeframe and have broader estimates.
- Tier three includes $2.1 billion of additional needs, another layer beyond the current STIP timeframe with broader estimates.
- In addition, the document identifies $1 billion in multimodal needs and $1.1 billion in statewide maintenance and operations needs.
Public meetings have been scheduled across the state for citizens to provide feedback on the order of priorities and additional needs that could be funded in the future. Presentations from each meeting will be shared in conjunction with the meetings. More details about the times and locations of these meetings can be found on the HPUN website. There is also an online comment form available through Sept. 10.
