TOPEKA ( KSNT ) – State officials have awarded almost $9 million to 14 transportation projects across the Sunflower State.
Governor Laura Kelly and the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) Secretary Calvin Reed announced Thursday, June 27 that 14 transportation projects statewide are going to split $8.6 million through the department’s Cost Share Program .
Through this program, local entities are given financial assistance from the state to work on transportation projects that improve safety, support job growth and retention, improve access, relieve congestion on roadways and help improve the state’s transportation system.
“These new Cost Share projects will repair and modernize transportation infrastructure in communities across Kansas,” Kelly said. “Collaboration on these selected projects address short-term challenges to bring long-term solutions to the places Kansans call home.”
Since the Cost Share Project started in the fall of 2019 , more than $260 million has been invested into 179 projects across the state.

Addressing these infrastructure projects enables solutions that will help these communities and residents keep moving forward for generations.”
