FRANKFORT, KY – Team Kentucky’s draft, federally-required Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) plan for fiscal years 2025 through 2028, part of statewide highway planning efforts to keep Kentuckians safe and support businesses, is ready for public review.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will allow 30 days for inspection and comment beginning Aug. 15, 2024. Any individual, agency or organization may submit comments.

“Safe and effective transportation in Kentucky encompasses everything from the Mountain Parkway expansion and rebuilding the Brent Spence Bridge corridor to countless local road and bridge projects to improve quality of life for all,” Kentucky Transportation Secretary Jim Gray said. “That includes public transportation, aviation and programs designed to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution that are always part of our program.”

The draft STIP includes all federally funded, scheduled projects in the 2024 State Highway Plan enacted by the 2024 Kentucky General Assembly and Gov. Andy Beshear. It also contains links to Kentucky’s nine Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) that identify federal projects in their individual transportation improvement plans. 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.

“To chart a path for improvement and maintenance of our transportation system, we need citizens of Kentucky and all users of that system to offer feedback,” Secretary Gray said.

The Draft FY 2025-2028 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program is now available online. A 30-day public comment period will run from Aug.15 to Sept.14. The draft STIP is also available at all 12 KYTC Department of Highways district offices.
