DESCRIPTION:KDOT announces Local Consult meetings in August. These meetings are an important opportunity for stakeholders\, like you\, to share information about needed transportation projects and help shape the future of transportation in Kansas.\n\n \n\n New projects. During the first hour\, we'd like to hear from stakeholders about new transportation projects that are needed. During the Joint Legislative Transportation Vision Task Force meetings held last Fall\, participants testified about project needs that totaled more than $18 billion. A list of those projects is available here. If there are new projects you'd like to share with us or if you have additional information about one of the projects already on the list\, please plan to participate during that first hour. Additional details about logistics will be provided in the coming weeks.\n\n \n\n\n Scenario planning. In the second two hours\, we'll work with all stakeholders to envision the future of Kansas by reviewing facts and trends\, discussing risks and exploring alternative future possibilities. Using scenario planning approaches\, we'll examine long-term and emerging trends\, how they could impact Kansas' transportation system\, and what infrastructure investments can be made to help future-proof our infrastructure and cultivate prosperous\, healthy communities for all Kansans. Scenario planning is at the forefront of national planning practices and these discussions will provide valuable information for the next Kansas Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP).\n\n \n\nWe will host another round of Local Consult meetings later this Fall. At those meetings\, we will build upon the discussions this summer to determine regional priorities for future transportation investments. Collaboration is at the heart of this process just as it was for the development of the T-WORKS program. But a lot has changed in the last 10 years\, and it's time for the next transportation program to take full advantage of accelerating rate of change in technology and growing interest in transit\, aviation\, rail\, broadband and economic vitality. \n\n \n\nBelow are the dates and locations for the August Local Consult meetings. The same information will be discussed at each meeting\, so please select the date and location most convenient to you.\n\n \n\nPlease let us know which meeting you plan to attend or if you have any questions by contacting Mike Moriarty\, KDOT Bureau Chief Transportation Planning\, at 785-296-8864 or Michael.Moriarty@ks.gov.\n\n \n\nThank you.\n\n \n\nJulie L.
