Description
The City Connecting Link Maintenance Program, administered by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), provides state funding to cities for the upkeep of City Connecting Links (CCLs). These are city streets designated as state highways. The program supports maintenance outlined in an agreement between each city and KDOT, which defines the maintenance responsibilities for the designated links.
The agreements can be revised as local boundaries, highway construction, or route numbers change. Cities may also request changes to maintenance responsibilities, subject to KDOT’s agreement. The program’s focus is maintenance of designated connecting links under these agreements, rather than city street maintenance generally.
