As traffic and travel increase, so do demands for transportation improvements. Governments, planning and economic development organizations and transportation professionals simply do not have enough resources to keep up.
The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) offers a variety of alternative financing options that make money available for transportation projects serving a public purpose, including: highway and rail projects, transit equipment, air and water transportation facilities and elderly/handicapped vehicles.
Projects on the state highway system must meet MoDOT’s design standards and are subject to the same approval process as projects fully funded by MoDOT and/or Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Determining the scope is an important step in developing what will be included in a project, the schedule for completion and the cost.
