Description
The Economic Development Program, managed by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), provides funding for transportation infrastructure projects that directly support economic development across Kansas. The program is designed to attract new businesses and facilitate the expansion of existing enterprises by addressing critical transportation needs—such as access roads, turning lanes, and rail spurs—across all transportation modes, including highways, rail, airports, and public transit. Projects must demonstrate a direct impact on job creation and capital investment in Kansas communities.
