Hello
Letter from the Director
---------------------------------------------•
Residents and visitors alike use Missouri roads every day.
At the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), we build and
maintain a transportation system that safely and reliably connects people
with jobs and services, connects businesses with suppliers and customers,
moves students to and from school and allows visitors to explore the
state’s many destinations. Our aspiration is to provide a world-class
transportation system that is safe, innovative, reliable and dedicated to a
prosperous Missouri.
Planning efforts are, of course, the critical first steps in achieving that
aspiration. Over the past eight months, MoDOT has worked to update our

Introduction to the Plan
The Missouri 2018 LRTP is a performance-based policy
plan which:
• evaluates future trends that will impact Missouri’s
transportation system;
• updates the state’s transportation goals, objectives
and performance measures;
• examines transportation system needs and
anticipated revenues over the next 25 years.
With the input of more than 7,700 Missourians and
transportation planning partners across the state,
the analyses provided in this plan will inform future
transportation decisions.
MoDOT has a long history of involving citizens in making
decisions about the state’s transportation system. This
public outreach process involves citizens from start to
finish and the approach has earned MoDOT recognition
as a national leader in public involvement and several
industry awards. Building on the goals established in
the 2014 LRTP, MoDOT reached out to stakeholders
and citizens to determine the goals and objectives which
will influence future transportation policy decisions in
Missouri.
The updated goals and objectives included in the 2018
LRTP address Missourians’ transportation priorities,
prepare Missouri for new and emerging transportation
technologies, are aligned with the freight plan goals, and
cover the national goals set by Congress.
