What Is KBT Currently Emphasizing?

Kentucky’s transportation facilities are a major asset in making the state a good place to live and to do business. Making needed improvements are a sound investment in the state’s economic future:

The Interstate highway system, the state’s parkways and other major arterial highways must be maintained and expanded as needed to keep pace with the traffic growth.
Communities must have adequate linkage to an Interstate highway or parkway.
The transportation system must be safer for the movement of people, products, and services.
Streets and highways in urban areas where traffic congestion is a significant problem must be improved to meet traffic demands.
Communities must have good access to well-maintained airports with adequate lighting systems and navigation aids.
The state must provide an interconnecting transportation system with adequate rail, riverport, airport, and public transit interface to enhance future economic growth.
State and federal laws must provide for adequate development of rail and waterway facilities.
The state must have more adequate funding for airports, highways, and public transit.
Road funds must be used for their intended purpose — building and maintaining streets, roads, and highways.
Cooperating with organizations with common interests to promote relevant and needed transportation improvements.
