Truman's Transportation Advisory Committee works directly with residents and communities to compile a list of regional transportation needs to be reviewed by the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), then submitted to the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The STIP, prepared annually, sets forth the specific construction projects MoDOT will undertake in the next five years.  It covers highways, bridges, aviation, rail, waterways, bicycle, and pedestrian transportation needs, along with operations and maintenance projects.
