	===121.2.8 High Priority Unfunded Needs List===		===121.2.8 High Priority Unfunded Needs List===
	MoDOT maintains a list of [https://www.modot.org/~~media/23411~~ high priority unfunded needs]. This list is used to demonstrate the identified needs around the state and includes roadway and bridge ~~projects~~ estimated at approximately $2 billion ~~over both Tier 1~~ and ~~Tier 2~~ and ~~approximately $300 million in prioritized multimodal~~ needs.		MoDOT maintains a list of [https://www.modot.org/unfundedneeds high priority unfunded needs]. This list is used to demonstrate the identified needs around the state and includes roadway and bridge needs estimated at approximately $10 billion in total. The prioritized needs includes statewide needs, major bridge needs and 3 tiers of road and bridge needs.

	Through the planning process, MoDOT staff work with the planning partners to identify and prioritize regional needs. These prioritized regional needs include both roadway and bridge items as well as multimodal needs. Each region provides their prioritized needs to the district. The district will add the appropriate needs to the unfunded needs list. The prioritization process is intentionally flexible in order to allow each district and region the ability to adopt a process that functions adequately and can be molded to their desired approach.		Through the planning process, MoDOT staff work with the planning partners to identify and prioritize regional needs. These prioritized regional needs include both roadway and bridge items as well as multimodal needs. Each region provides their prioritized needs to the district. The district will add the appropriate needs to the unfunded needs list. The prioritization process is intentionally flexible in order to allow each district and region the ability to adopt a process that functions adequately and can be molded to their desired approach.

	Since the unfunded needs list is intended to represent just a portion of the needs in a district, the overall list for roadway and bridge needs and multimodal needs, is constrained to approximately $2 billion and $~~300 million~~ respectively. The total value of the associated scoping estimates for all listed needs in each region correlates to each district’s distribution formula for both categories of work, road and bridge and multimodal. For example, if a district receives 10% of distributed funds, the total value of all ~~projects~~ included in ~~Tier~~ 1 and ~~Tier 2~~ roadway and bridge needs would be approximately $50 million for Tier 1 and $~~150~~ million for ~~Tier~~ 2. Similarly, if a district receives 10% of distributed funds, the total value of all ~~projects~~ included in their multimodal need’s identification would be approximately $30 million.		Since the unfunded needs list is intended to represent just a portion of the needs in a district, the overall list for roadway and bridge needs and multimodal needs, is constrained to approximately $4.5 billion and $1 billion respectively. The total value of the associated scoping estimates for all listed needs in each region correlates to each district’s distribution formula for both categories of work, road and bridge and multimodal. For example, if a district receives 10% of distributed funds, the total value of all needs included in Tiers 1,2 and 3 roadway and bridge needs would be approximately $50 million for Tier 1 and $200 million each for Tiers 2 and 3. Similarly, if a district receives 10% of distributed funds, the total value of all needs included in their multimodal need’s identification would be approximately $100 million.

	Additional specific guidance on the unfunded needs list targets is provided to the districts prior to the start of the effort		Major bridge needs and the statewide needs are not typically identified during regional discussions as these needs typical extend beyond an individual district. These needs are identified through multidivisional consultation and associated partners.

	The available funding for transportation system improvements is detailed in the [http://www2.modot.org/guidetotransportation/documents/CompleteGuide.pdf Citizen’s Guide to Transportation Funding in Missouri].

The adopted funding distribution formula outlines the allocation of construction funds to each of the MoDOT districts. This formula is updated and adopted by the Missouri Highway Transportation Commission (MHTC).

	MoDOT, MPOs and RPCs determine which high priority transportation needs should be funded for improvements. Project selection considers not only the priority list, but also the amounts of available funding and type of funding available (fiscal constraint), project timing and coordination with other projects, and opportunities to obtain funding from other sources, such as federal discretionary funding or cost sharing with another agency or entity. The improvements that are selected for funding are included in MoDOT’s five-year [~~http~~://epg.modot.org/index.php/121.3_The_Statewide_Transportation_Improvement_Program_(STIP) Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)], and also in each MPO’s Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs), where applicable. The STIP and TIPs set forth the specific transportation system improvements that will be completed during a four- to five-year period. The STIP and TIPs are rolling plans; as one year is completed, another year is added. MoDOT’s STIP aligns with the state’s fiscal year (SFY), which begins on July 1<sup>st</sup> and ends on June 30<sup>th</sup> of the following calendar year. MPO TIPs may use the state’s fiscal year, or the federal fiscal year (FFY), which begins on October 1, and ends on September 30<sup>th</sup> of the following calendar year, or an alternative cycle, although following the state or federal fiscal year is preferred.
