Corridor planning

Statewide corridor planning initiative

We're bringing together stakeholders to develop a new statewide corridor planning process. Corridor planning is a strategic and thorough approach to analyzing transportation needs in a specific location. The statewide corridor planning initiative will enhance how we integrate state priorities — including safe and thriving communities, healthy people, equity and inclusion, and the environment — with the selection and development of future state highway projects.

Projects underway

Corridor Planning Guidebook

Planners will use this guidebook to evaluate infrastructure and transportation needs in a corridor. The guidebook will promote consistency and set shared expectations for corridor planning.

Corridor Planning Prioritization Process

We'll use this process to identify and prioritize state highways for future planning studies. The process will elevate state transportation goals in transportation project planning.

Schedule

Anticipated completion July 2026

Engagement

Both projects will actively engage a wide variety of stakeholders throughout the process.
