As MoDOT developed its Long-Range Transportation Plan, it studied each mode independently and then combined the information into a comprehensive plan. A brief look at each mode will be helpful to better understand the overall system needs and how MoDOT determined the cost of meeting the needs. The needs and funding goals by themselves do not offer the perspective required to implement the changes dictated by the Long-Range Transportation Direction.The Long-Range Transportation Plan also sets policy direction for each mode of transportation. The policies outlined below will help MoDOT implement the direction.
Aviation	Bicycle and Pedestrian
Freight rail	Ports
Highways and Bridges	Passenger Rail and Bus Service
Public Transportation
