Jan. 17, 2025 (Lincoln, Neb.) — The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) require each state highway agency to develop a Statewide Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP). The STIP must list all highway and transit projects that will be using federal funds, as well as
all regionally significant transportation projects using non-federal funding sources. It covers a period of four
years and in Nebraska is updated every year on Oct. 1st. Periodically, the Nebraska Department of
Transportation (NDOT) must amend the STIP to add or remove projects, to make adjustments to funding
sources or estimates, or to update a project’s scope of work.
An amendment, referred to as Amendment 2 to the 2025-2028 STIP, is available for public comment on the
NDOT website ndot.info/stip from Friday, Jan. 17, 2025 to 5 p.m. CT on Friday, Jan. 24, 2025.
The FHWA and the FTA will not approve the revision until the public comment period has ended and
comments have been evaluated and incorporated in the revision as appropriate.
Copies of the Public Involvement Plan for the Nebraska Department of Transportation’s STIP are available
from one of the eight district offices. A map with district office locations and contact information is attached.
A copy of the proposed STIP Public Involvement Plan may be obtained upon request to the Communications
& Public Policy Office, 1500 Nebraska Parkway, PO Box 94759, Lincoln, NE 68509-4759, or by calling (402)
479-4512 or email jeni.campana@nebraska.gov.
Under federal legislation, the Nebraska Department of Transportation is required to have a public
involvement plan for the STIP in place. This plan can be viewed at: ndot.info/stip.
