Transportation
stakeholders,
Now
that the 2014 legislative session has ended, I want to thank you for your
support. With your help, we were able to protect our 10-year
transportation program T-WORKS, which is so vital to the economic success of
our state.
With
no new money transfers from the KDOT budget, I would call the 2014 session a
great success. But that doesn’t mean our work is over.
Because
of federal funding uncertainty in Washington and the continued efforts in
Kansas to rely on KDOT to fund other agencies’ needs, we must continue to be
vigilant about the use of the dollars intended for infrastructure investments
in our state.
I
am happy to report that T-WORKS is on-time and on-budget and scheduled to be
completed as promised. However, we are going to continue to asses our
current outgoing transfers and those long-term impacts.
KDOT
remains committed to completing all of the transportation projects programmed
under T-WORKS and we will maintain that commitment even if we must tighten our
belt in other ways. Thank you for your continued support and we look
forward to visiting with you when we tour the state for local consult meetings
this fall.
Mike
King
Secretary
of Transportation
Director
of the Kansas Turnpike
