State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
SANTA FE – The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) is accepting public comment through Friday, September 19, 2025, on Amendment 8 to the federal fiscal year 2024–2029 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which is available online.
The Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is the New Mexico Department of Transportation’s (NMDOT) short-term plan for federally funded, and regionally significant projects. It’s developed through a collaborative process that follows federal guidelines, supports national goals, and aligns with NMDOT’s long-term vision to meet the transportation needs of the traveling public.
The first four years of the STIP include projects that have secure funding, while the final two years focus on planning and developing larger or long-term projects.
This six-year program includes a wide range of multimodal transportation projects including roads, bridges, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and transit that are funded by federal, state, local, and private sources. It also includes projects of high public interest or environmental impact, as well as work in National Parks, Forests, and tribal lands.
