The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission today approved the FY 2026-2030 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The program lists transportation projects planned by state and regional planning agencies from July 1, 2026 – 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 STIP makes available $13.3 billion of federal and state revenues for all modes of transportation over the next five years. Of the $13.3 billion, the STIP details $9.5 billion in contractor awards for road and bridge construction – averaging approximately $1.9 billion per year.
“We’ve seen unprecedented levels of investments in and improvements to the state’s transportation system over the past few years, and this program is a continuation of that,” said Missouri Department of Transportation Director Ed Hassinger. “The recent growth of this program is made possible by an increased motor fuel tax and additional General Revenue and federal transportation investments, and this plan forward shows our full commitment to deliver this major investment for the travelers across Missouri.”
The STIP details improvements to Missouri’s 33,814 miles of highway and 10,427 bridges and culverts. The draft version of the STIP was released in May for public review, with MoDOT receiving 73 comments.
Detailed project information for non-highway modes of transportation and a section detailing planned operations and maintenance activities for the next three years are also included in the final STIP. This information allows Missourians to easily view the investments being made with transportation funding. The final STIP can be viewed online at the Missouri Department of Transportation website.
All projects are subject to continued funding from the Missouri 10 cent gas tax passed by the legislature. Projects may be pulled if this measure is repealed by the legislature or if bids exceed the estimates. Most DOT projects involve federal funding. The Trump Administration has engaged in massive budget cuts through DOGE and through the “Big Beautiful Bill” passed by Congress. Projects may be pulled or postponed if federal funding is no longer available or is delayed due to mass layoffs at the federal level.
