KXLG: SDDOT Providing Interactive Public Engagement Opportunities for Tentative 2027-2030 STIP
The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) will offer virtual and in-person public engagement options for the Tentative 2027-2030 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). All Tentative 2027-2030 STIP information will be available through an innovative, highly interactive, virtual meeting room on the SDDOT website at https://dot.sd.gov/projects-studies/planning/tentative-statewide-transportation-improvement-program-stip.
“Our virtual STIP engagement options allow people across the state to actively participate in this important planning process at their own convenience,” said Transportation Secretary Joel Jundt. “Members of the public are invited to attend one of the scheduled virtual STIP meetings via Zoom. They can also utilize the interactive virtual meeting room to review project information, explore maps, and submit comments or questions. These flexible virtual formats enhance public engagement opportunities with the goal to advance South Dakota’s public transportation system today and for future generations.”
About the STIP:
The STIP is a four-year program listing projects developed through the coordinated efforts of the SDDOT, Transportation Commission, state and federal agencies, local and tribal governments, metropolitan planning organizations, public agencies, transportation providers, citizens, and other interested parties.
