Team Kentucky’s draft Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) plan, a four-year listing of scheduled transportation projects using federal transportation funds, is ready for public review. The plan includes projects involving highways, bridges, public transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities and other transportation improvements to enhance safety and mobility in Kentucky.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) invites any individual, agency, or organization to submit comments during the 30-day review period starting Aug. 1 through Aug. 30.
“The draft 2026 STIP includes federally funded projects of all sizes across many modes of transportation, all with the goal of enhancing the quality of life for Kentuckians and supporting the economy through safe and efficient connections to what matters most,” said KYTC Secretary Rebecca Goodman. “The plan offers the public a look at where we expect federal investments to be made in Kentucky over the next four years.”
The draft STIP includes megaprojects like the I-69 Ohio River Crossing in Western Kentucky, the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor project in Northern Kentucky, and the Mountain Parkway Expansion project in Eastern Kentucky, along with countless local road and bridge projects. Public transportation, aviation and programs designed to fund projects that reduce traffic congestion and air pollution are also included.
The STIP contains links to Kentucky’s nine Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) that identify federal projects in their individual transportation improvement plans (TIP). MPOs represent the following urbanized areas: Bowling Green, Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky, Clarksville-Oak Grove, Evansville-Henderson, Huntington-Ashland-Ironton, Lexington, Louisville, Owensboro and Radcliff-Elizabethtown.
The Draft FY 2027-2030 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program is now available online and feedback is welcome. The draft STIP is also available at all 12 KYTC Department of Highways district offices.
