Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Wants to Hear From You!


In 2035, what will be Kentucky's transportation needs? Will our focus be on maintaining and improving existing roadways, constructing new roads, or issues concerning other modes of transportation? Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) officials are asking these questions as they update the Kentucky Long Range Transportation Plan.
 
Just like KIPDA has been working on a long range plan,  KYTC is updating the state's plan and they need your input. They want your help in determining the transportation needs for all areas of Kentucky over the next two decades. The plan will consider changes in communities, freight movement, financial resources, economic development, rural and urban transportation, the environment and other transportation issues that are impacting you.

The new plan will be an overarching policy guide with goals, objectives and strategies to address the core transportation opportunities and challenges facing each of us. KYTC has come up with a confidential survey to gauge your transportation expectations.

The “Your Turn” survey will be online and available through Feb. 25. It consists of 19 questions.
It is available in electronic and hard copy form in English and Spanish. A link to the “Your Turn” survey and other transportation information can be found by visiting www.transportation.ky.gov and clicking on the “Your Turn” survey link. You can also access “Your Turn” directly at the link yourturn.transportation.ky.gov. This direct link will also provide compiled survey results in late 2013 as well as other information throughout the update of this Long Range Plan.

 Paper surveys are available at:

·         KYTC highway district offices

·         Area Development District offices, including KIPDA, 11520 Commonwealth Drive in Louisville.

·         Metropolitan Planning Organization offices, , including KIPDA, 11520 Commonwealth Drive in Louisville.

·         Transportation Cabinet Office Building, 200 Mero St., Frankfort

 For more information or to request a survey, call the cabinet weekdays from 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. eastern time at (502) 564-3419.
