LRTP BACKGROUND AND PROCESS OVERVIEW

KDOT has updated the state's long range transportation plan (LRTP) with the intent of improving the Kansas transportation network and strengthening the economic future of the state. The long range planning process includes both a comprehensive technical analysis of the current transportation system along with inclusive, broad-based public engagement opportunities. The process was conducted in three phases. Click on each phase to learn more about the activities.

Phase 1: September 2006-February 2007
Transportation needs, including the current status of the transportation system, long term forecasts, needs and gaps

The LRTP was developed with an open and transparent process. KDOT utilized a review and input structure of their Advisory Committees to help integrate input from stakeholders into the LRTP. The Advisory Committees included:

 

Policy Committee provided high-level strategic oversight and guidance to help KDOT build support for the LRTP.

(Policy Committee link opens in a new browser window).

Technical Committee provided technical feedback on early needs, revenue and gap analysis, drawing on the expertise of members from KDOT and stakeholders representing modal interests, user groups, and city and county transportation officials.

The KDOT Internal Steering Committee also provided guidance and input into the process.
