| The Kansas Department of Transportation is now accepting applications for the fall 2021 round of the agency’s Cost Share Program.
The Cost Share Program provides financial assistance to local entities for construction projects that improve safety, leverage state funds to increase total transportation investment and help both rural and urban areas of the state improve the transportation system. The program was created in fall 2019. This is the fifth round of projects to receive funding.
“The continuation of the Cost Share Program shows KDOT’s ongoing commitment to improving transportation and creating economic growth and job opportunities across Kansas,” said Deputy Secretary Lindsey Douglas. “Past Cost Share participants have proven this program to be the financial boost that many small and large communities needed to achieve their project goals.”
An informational webinar on the program will take place at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 2. To register for the webinar, go to:
