Missouri Department Of Transportation

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is the state government entity responsible for managing and maintaining Missouri's comprehensive transportation infrastructure system. Registered with SAM.gov since June 27, 2001, MoDOT serves as a critical recipient of federal transportation funding and serves as both a prime awardee and administrator of federal grant programs. As the state's transportation agency, MoDOT receives federal grant awards to fund a wide range of infrastructure projects that enhance mobility, safety, and connectivity across Missouri for residents and businesses.

MoDOT has demonstrated extensive experience executing complex transportation infrastructure projects through its prime federal grant awards, which are primarily funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), with additional support from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Through the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), MoDOT has received substantial formula grants to fund bridge replacements, rehabilitations, and maintenance projects across numerous Missouri counties; pavement resurfacing and preservation treatments on state and local routes; sidewalk and pedestrian facility construction and improvements; traffic signal upgrades and installation; roadway reconstruction and intersection improvements; and multimodal infrastructure enhancements including greenways, bike trails, and shared-use paths. Additionally, MoDOT has received funding under specialized highway programs including the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (CFDA 20.287), Bridge Formula Program (CFDA 20.263), Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CFDA 20.268), Railway-Highway Crossings Program (CFDA 20.285), and Recreational Trails Program (CFDA 20.219) for targeted transportation safety and environmental improvements. MoDOT also administers the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) through the FAA as a state block grant administrator, overseeing sub-awards for nonprimary airport infrastructure projects including runway reconstruction, taxiway rehabilitation, hangar construction, fuel farm development, and lighting systems upgrades. The agency has received highway safety grants from NHTSA including occupant protection programs, distracted driving countermeasures, impaired driving prevention, and state traffic safety information system improvements under various Section 405 programs. MoDOT also manages state safety oversight responsibilities for rail fixed guideway systems through FTA funding (CFDA 20.528), overseeing safety management system implementation for Metrolink, KC Streetcar, and Loop Trolley. Beyond these primary programs, MoDOT has received federal project grants including Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects (CFDA 20.934) for major infrastructure initiatives such as I-70 traffic and safety management improvements and workforce development programs. The agency typically partners with local governments, cities, and regional transportation planning organizations such as the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC), Columbia Area Transportation Study Organization (CATSO), and Joplin Area Transportation Study Organization (JATSO) to deliver these projects, positioning MoDOT as a comprehensive transportation infrastructure developer serving Missouri's multimodal transportation needs.
