Request for Comments

In accordance with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requirements, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) requests comments on the draft Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2023-2026 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for Kansas.

The STIP is a project specific publication that lists KDOT administered projects, regardless of funding source, including projects for counties and cities as well as projects on the state highway system for a four-year period (October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2026). In addition, an index of projects being advance constructed, summarizing the conversion year(s) and conversion amount by phase as well as a total conversion amount for each project listed, is provided. Projects that are developed or revised after the preparation of this STIP document will use the STIP amendment process.

Supplementing the project information is a narrative that briefly describes KDOT’s public involvement process, project selection process, program financing and fiscal constraint anticipated for the STIP, and an overview of KDOT’s public transportation program. Also, included within the STIP narrative are brief descriptions of the programs administered by entities other than KDOT. These programs which are required by federal law to be included in the STIP are: Federal lands and tribal transportation programs administered by the Office of Federal Lands Highway and the Bureau of Indian Affairs; recreational trails, administered by Kansas Wildlife and Parks; and by reference the Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs) administered by each of the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) for the six urbanized areas of Kansas. The six state MPOs are: the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) for the Kansas City area; the Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO) that serves Sedgwick County and the cities of Andover and Mulvane; the Metropolitan Topeka Planning Organization; the Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Office; the Flint Hills Metropolitan Planning Organization that serves the cities of Manhattan, Ogden, Junction City, and Wamego; and the St. Joseph Area Transportation Study Organization that serves Doniphan County in the cities of Wathena and Ellwood.

The STIP is available for review online on KDOT’s website at https://www.ksdot.org/bureaus/burProgProjMgmt/stip/stip.asp, select the draft FFY 2023-2026 STIP link.
