Lincoln, Neb. — The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) is accepting public
comment regarding its proposed amendment to the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) –
a mandatory, four-year plan of all federally funded transportation projects to be undertaken within the state.
Under federal law, NDOT is required to have a public involvement plan for the STIP in place. An amendment,
referred to as Amendment 4 to the 2026-2029 STIP, is available for public comment on NDOT’s website at
ndot.info/stip from Thursday, Jan. 15 to 5 p.m. (CT) Thursday, Jan. 22, 2026.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) require each state
to develop a STIP, which must list all highway and transit projects that will use federal funds, as well as all
regionally significant transportation projects using non-federal funding sources. In Nebraska, the STIP is
updated every year on Oct. 1. Periodically, 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.
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
NDOT’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
and Public Policy Office, 1500 Nebraska Parkway, PO Box 94759, Lincoln, NE 68509-4759, or by calling 402-
479-4316 or email jay.omar@nebraska.gov.
