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 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.
