Your Input Matters - 2026-2035 Draft State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
The N.C. Department of Transportation is inviting the public to provide feedback on the Draft 2026-2035 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The STIP is developed under the Strategic Transportation Investments law (STI), which established the Strategic Mobility Formula.
Over the past 18 months, NCDOT has worked closely with the public, legislature, local planning organizations, and other stakeholders to implement this law and develop the Draft STIP.
As part of this effort, NCDOT will host regional drop-in sessions across the state between February 17 and March 17, 2025. These sessions and the broader outreach effort aim to gather input on:
- The variety and geographic diversity of projects;
- The process used to develop the STIP;
- Ideas for improvement.
Feedback from these sessions will also help shape the development of the 2028-2037 STIP.
