NYSDOT Issues Draft Statewide Transportation Improvement Program
Public Comment Period Extends Through December 7, 2025
New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez today announced that the draft Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for federal fiscal years 2026 through 2029 is available for public review and comment. The STIP is a list of all projects in New York State proposed for federal funding that are scheduled to begin during this period.
“Governor Kathy Hochul and the State Department of Transportation are investing in transportation infrastructure across New York as it is key to enhancing quality of life, promoting affordability, and improving public safety for all residents,” said Commissioner Dominguez. “Through the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, a vital tool for planning and executing transportation projects, we are collaborating with our partners at all levels of government to fund and deliver these important projects statewide.”
The STIP contains the regional Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs) of the State’s 14 Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and all other federally funded highway and transit projects from around the State. The STIP is generally updated every three years. All federally funded projects planned for Federal Fiscal Years (FFY) 2026 - 2029 must be included in this draft STIP update.
The draft STIP will be available for public review and comment through December 7, 2025. The draft STIP may be viewed online at https://www.dot.ny.gov/programs/stip/draftstip. It also is available for review during normal business hours at any of the NYSDOT 11 regional offices, and the 14 MPO offices (list follows).
These funds will be used to address highway safety, bridge and highway infrastructure, public transportation infrastructure and bicycle and pedestrian enhancements.
Comments and questions regarding the draft STIP can be submitted via email to STIP@dot.ny.gov, or in writing to: New York State Department of Transportation, Office of Policy, Planning & Performance, 2026 - 2029 STIP Comments, 50 Wolf Road, 6th Floor, Albany, NY 12232.
NYSDOT will review and address comments received during the public comment period. These comments will be incorporated into the draft STIP submitted to the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration. The draft STIP is expected to be submitted for final approval by mid-December 2025.
