Kansas Department of Transportation
The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is seeking input from the public on regional transportation priorities at Local Consult meetings across the state in October.
“This is an opportunity for our residents to voice their specific transportation needs and priorities directly to the decision makers at KDOT. Your input is needed to help KDOT shape the future of our transportation system and make improvements that benefit our communities,” said Joe Finley, District 6 Engineer. “I strongly encourage everyone to participate and help us to design and build an improved and efficient transportation system that will serve our future needs in southwest Kansas.”
