A series of Local Consult meetings hosted by the Kansas Department of
Transportation will give citizens a chance to discuss regional transportation
priorities and participate in scenario planning for the future.
“These meetings are an
important opportunity for stakeholders to help set the vision for
transportation in Kansas,” said Secretary of Transportation Julie Lorenz.
“This is a transformational time in transportation, and we need you to help
chart our success into the future.”
At the meetings, stakeholders
will review facts and trends and explore alternative future possibilities
through scenario planning. Stakeholders will also have the opportunity to
present information about transportation projects not discussed during last
fall’s Joint Legislative Transportation Vision Task Force meetings.
“I
strongly encourage you to attend KDOT’s upcoming local consult meetings, so we
hear your thoughts and create a transportation system that works for all
Kansans, regardless of where they live,” said Gov. Laura Kelly.
The Local Consult
meetings are scheduled to take place in August in Salina, Hutchinson, Independence,
Overland Park, Topeka, Wichita, Dodge City and Hays. A list of the dates,
times, locations and a map are below.
