The Planning program is responsible for administrative and technical support and implements transportation planning activities statewide. The program is charged with a variety of statewide planning initiatives including: rail planning, carpooling, alternative fuel, bikeway, pedway, and ferry operations. In addition, it coordinates the Kentucky Scenic Highway and Byway System, manages the traffic data collection and processing equipment, maintains the Highway Information System, and coordinates air quality conformity with several state and federal agencies.
Highway Planning evaluates state-maintained streets and highways to ensure that available federal and state funds are utilized to maximum efficiency. The Planning unit maintains an inventory of all roadway classifications and prepares city, county, and state road maps for sale and distribution. The program also furnishes statistics required by the Federal Highway Administration and state and local government decision-makers.
Metropolitan Planning maintains and distributes federal funding to nine metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to implement the continuing, comprehensive, and cooperative planning process, which is mandated by federal law. The MPOs study the impact of transportation operations in urbanized areas concerning congestion management, air quality, environmental issues, public involvement, land use and development, and public transportation.
Area Development Districts (ADDs) Assistance administers a regional planning and public participation process in the state's 15 ADDs as part of the Cabinet's overall statewide transportation planning process, as required by 23 USC and 23 CFR 450. The Cabinet contracts with each ADD for activities in support of the regional and statewide planning process, including public involvement, data collection, analysis, identification of needs, project recommendations, regional prioritization of projects, and technical assistance and review.
