KDOT oversees the planning, development, and execution of transportation projects to deliver projects on time, within budget, and meeting high-quality standards. By coordinating with stakeholders, including local governments, contractors, and federal agencies, KDOT plays a crucial role in enhancing Kansas' transportation infrastructure.

Programs at KDOT

KDOT programs are ongoing initiatives addressing specific transportation needs and goals. These programs often involve multiple projects and activities to improve various aspects of the state's transportation infrastructure. 

Examples include the Transportation Alternatives Program, which funds pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and the Safe Routes to School Program, which enhances safety for students traveling to and from school. 

Projects at KDOT

Projects at KDOT are specific undertakings within a program that focus on constructing, improving, or maintaining transportation infrastructure. Each project has a defined scope, timeline, and budget.  

Examples of projects include the construction of new highways, bridge repairs, and the implementation of traffic management systems. Projects are the building blocks that help achieve the broader objectives set by KDOT's programs.
