JEFFERSON CITY - The Missouri Department of Transportation has released a new Local Public Agency Manual for transportation. The manual is used by local public agencies to ensure their compliance with federal funding requirements from the earliest concept phase of a project through its completion.

The manual, which lives online within MoDOT's Engineering Policy Guide, was developed in concert with the Federal Highway Administration, local agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, consultants and industry. Improvements include easier-to-read text, handy checklists and flowcharts.

The LPA Manual may be accessed at:
