MoDOT seeks public input on Long-Range Transportation Plan and State Freight and Rail Plan
MISSOURI — The Missouri Department of Transportation is asking the public for their thoughts on transportation priorities. According to a Thursday release, the department has launched a survey to gather information as it updates both the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the State Freight and Rail Plan (SFRP) – both are federally required plans and will guide future transportation networks in the Show Me State. The LRTP update builds on existing goals, including safety, economic growth, more transportation options, and congestion reduction for the next 25 years. The SFRP assesses freight and passenger rail systems, analyzing economic impact, truck parking, and supply chains.

'We want to hear directly from those who use the transportation system and how it's working for communities across the state. These plans allow us to set goals and determine the long-term priorities that are right for Missourians.' The survey takes 10 minutes and is available online through April 30, 2025. Questions can be directed to 1-888-ASK-MoDOT (275-6636) or by mail to MoDOT's Transportation Planning office. Draft plans will be open for public comment in early 2026.

Bi-State Regional Commission seeks input about transportation
Regional transportation priorities are reviewed and updated every five years in the Iowa Region 9 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) for the area covering all of Muscatine County and Scott County, excluding the Iowa Quad Cities, according to a news release. The plan looks at regional economic and population changes, condition of Region 9 transportation assets, and mobility trends that may impact future use of the transportation system. Public involvement can contribute to a better transportation system that benefits Region 9 for years to come, the release says. The Bi-State Regional Commission invites public input through a public information survey. Visit here to give your transportation feedback on what is working and what is not. The survey will be open through May 1, 2025. The release says this and future public input opportunities will help shape the future of the Iowa Region 9 transportation system and economy. In the next year, Bi-State staff will work with local officials to prepare a full draft Long Range Transportation Plan document by early 2026. The plan will include transportation goals, existing and proposed transportation systems, and other infrastructure/development recommendations. Additional public input is planned prior to the adoption of the plan in early 2026. To review the existing 2045 Long-Range Transportation Plan for Region 9, visit here.
