JEFFERSON CITY, MO — The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission approves the fiscal year 2026-2030 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The program lists transportation projects planned by state and regional planning agencies from July 1, 2026 to 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 Governor 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,” Missouri Department of Transportation Director Ed Hassinger said. “The recent growth of this program is made possible by an increased motor fuel tax and additional General Revenue and federal transportation investments."
The STIP details improvements to Missouri’s 33,814 miles of highway and 10,427 bridges and culverts.
