Virtual Meeting: MoDOT's Long-Range Planning

Fill out MoDOT's long-range planning 'Virtual Public Meeting' to help guide Missouri's transportation future.

Attend MoDOT's Long Range Planning 'Virtual Public Meeting'!

Announced in a Missouri Department of Transportation press release, MoDOT opened a 'Virtual Public Meeting' for their Long-Range Transportation Plan [LRTP] update. MoDOT will highlight this public input within the Long-Range Transportation Plan update–currently underway–which will inform MoDOT's direction for the next 25 years. The Virtual Public Meeting is open until June 30th, 2025:

Now is the time to make the case to MoDOT that Missourians want transportation choice. Missouri's vulnerable road users–including those who walk, bike, use wheelchairs, and take transit–face major obstacles, and our state has an incredible opportunity to redirect our priorities with the LRTP update.

When attending the Virtual Public Meeting, consider this:

• MO reached it's highest-ever recorded pedestrian fatalities in 2024
• MO ranked at or near the bottom in several national reports for active transportation policies, citing the need for more statewide active transportation planning and support:
  • The Safe Routes Partnership ranked MO last for 'Safe Routes to School:' Safe Routes to School State Report Card [September 2024]
  • The League of American Bicyclists ranked MO second-to-last among 'Bicycle Friendly States:' Bicycle Friendly States Report Card [December 2024]
• MO has no dedicated state financial support for active transportation, and state-supported transit is facing cuts, all while federal funding for non-highway transportation is at risk

Furthermore, Missouri is one of four remaining states that have never developed a statewide active transportation plan. The LRTP update process is required to determine whether a statewide active transportation plan is feasible, so we encourage you to review our case for a statewide active transportation plan and consider these points when attending the LRTP Virtual Public Meeting:
