In accordance with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requirements, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) annually develops a Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).

The STIP is a project-specific document that includes a list of all highway projects in the state for a four-year period that includes the current federal fiscal year plus three subsequent federal fiscal years. (A federal fiscal year is from October to September).  The STIP is categorized into three general sections:

1) All street and highway projects administered by KDOT
2) Overview of the statewide public transit program
3) Federal lands highway program projects

The comprehensive list of programmed projects provided under category one above includes ALL projects, regardless of funding source administered by KDOT.  The list includes projects for counties, cities, and projects on the State Highway System.  Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs) for the five urbanized areas in Kansas, which are the Lawrence & Douglas county area, the Kansas City area, the Topeka area, the St Joseph area (serving the northeast corner of Kansas), and the Wichita & Sedgwick county area are included in the STIP by reference.  The TIPs included are those in force for each Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) at the time of the annual STIP preparation.

A draft STIP document is published and a notice placed in the Kansas Register each year in August providing the public and transportation stakeholders an opportunity to comment on the list of programmed projects.  The draft STIP is also published on this STIP site while comments are being solicited. (A more detailed description of public involvement opportunities is available in KDOT's public participation document "Sharing the Future- Public Involvement in the Kansas Transportation System" (http://www.ksdot.org/burTransPlan/pdf/SharingtheFuture.pdf).  After a 30-day public comment period and with FHWA & FTA approval, the approved STIP is published and the document is placed on this site for viewing.  Changes throughout the year to the projects in the STIP document are handled through an amendment or administrative change process.  The procedure for this process may be viewed through the link at the top of the page “Revision Procedures for Amendments and Administrative Change Modifications to the STIP".

When a STIP document is updated throughout the year, a notice is placed in, the Kansas Register and the list of proposed projects to be amended to the STIP are displayed on the current STIP page in the Draft STIP Amendments Out for Public Comment section.  At the conclusion of a 14-day comment period and with FHWA and FTA approval, approved amendments are published on the current STIP page in the Approved Regular Amendments or Approved Special Amendments sections.

In addition to the current STIP document and its amendments, prior approved STIP documents and amendments may be viewed on this site using the links provided at the top of this page.
