Statewide Transportation Improvement Program approved

2026-2030 STIP details $13.3 billion in revenues over next five years

At the July meeting of the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission, the FY 2026-2030 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) was approved.

MoDOT’s STIP lists nearly 1,300 transportation projects planned for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, which started July 1 and runs through June 30, 2030.

The five-year program is one of the largest to date and includes additional funding from General Revenue, passed by the Missouri General Assembly and signed by Gov. Mike Kehoe. Funding is allocated for improvements to interstates 70 and 44, the fixing of low-volume minor roads, and improvements to bridges, airports and rail crossings.

The approved STIP details $13.3 billion of federal and state revenues for all modes of transportation over the next five years, including $9.5 billion in road and bridge construction contractor awards. The approved program also includes detailed project information for non-highway modes of transportation and the planned operations and maintenance activities for the next three years.

During the public comment period on the draft STIP, which ended in June, MoDOT reviewed 73 comments.

The full program is available to view on MoDOT’s website.
