Here's how to comment on MoDOT's high priority unfunded needs project list

Missouri Department of Transportation seeks the public's input on determining as yet unfunded transportation priorities.

Meetings will happen throughout the state, but the central region meeting is scheduled 4-6 p.m. July 30 in the Muri Room of the Central District office, 1511 Missouri Blvd. in Jefferson City.

MoDOT and regional planning partners have outlined a draft high priority unfunded needs listing. It identifies $1.1 billion in annual unfunded transportation needs. The list guides development needs into funded projects as state and federal funding becomes available. MoDOT is seeking public input on the list.

The draft list has $4.4 billion in road and bridge needs in three tiers. Tier one includes $477 million and includes needs that could be accomplished in the current five year Statewide Transportation Improvement Program. Tier 2 is work $1.92 billion and includes needs beyond the current STIP timeframe with broad estimates. MoDOT also has worked with planning partners to identify $1 billion in multimodal (e.g. pedestrian, rail, river, air travel) needs.

MoDOT is taking comments on the draft document through Aug. 23. An online comment form is available through the unfunded needs web page. More information is available by calling MoDOT's customer service line at 1-888-275-6636.
