Bill > HB2221

This bill requires the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) to prioritize specific high-priority transportation corridors when developing the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which is a strategic planning document that outlines transportation infrastructure projects. The high-priority corridors are those originally identified in Section 1105(c) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, a federal law that established important national transportation routes. Additionally, the bill mandates that any proposed changes to the STIP during its implementation period must first be approved by the joint committee on administrative rules, which provides legislative oversight of administrative actions. This provision ensures that modifications to transportation planning are subject to legislative review and maintain alignment with the original prioritization of federal high-priority corridors.
