As projects were selected once at the start of each program. Extending T-WORKS nears completion members from the legislature, project selections over the life of T-WORKS has increased KDOT’s Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) leadership and responsiveness to changing roadway conditions and economic local stakeholders have jointly begun to explore the future of changes as they arise. By implementing these project selection transportation in Kansas in the “Joint Legislative Transportation changes, KDOT has developed greater stakeholder input, gained Vision Task Force” meetings conducted across the state this past more flexibility in projects selected and increased maneuverability to summer and fall. These informational discussions were held to respond to the prevailing economic conditions. assess transportation needs and concerns across the state and to lay Under T-WORKS construction projects are categorized into four the ground work for the next transportation program. It is vital that core programs: Preservation, Modernization, Expansion and Local this process begins now to ensure that KDOT is able to continue to Construction. The four core programs group construction projects deliver high-quality transportation infrastructure to Kansans and is with similar work types and scopes together. Projects within each able to respond to emerging transportation needs. While exploring of these major programs are further grouped together based upon and planning for the years beyond T-WORKS, KDOT is committed similar funding sources or project-types into more specific groups or to the execution of the remaining years of the current program. subcategories. In the new project selection process, there are evalua- KDOT leadership employs many tools in the development tion criterion applied for project selections in the core programs. and execution of a transportation program and project selection For the Preservation program, engineering factors are an process beginning with the guidance from two plans. The 2008 effective evaluation method for project selection and remain the sole Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), which outlines high-level factor used for selecting projects in this program. However, in the goals and the newly developed Transportation Asset Management Modernization and Expansion programs, engineering factors are Plan (TAMP) which provides a detailed assessment of current augmented with other factors. In the Modernization program, project infrastructure and the effort and funding levels needed to maintain selection combines historically strong engineering-based formulas said infrastructure. Together the LRTP and TAMP, provide direction with regional priorities and in the Expansion program, project and focus for KDOT management establishing a framework for selections combine engineering factors with regional priorities and day-to-day decision-making processes. Under T-WORKS, KDOT economic impacts. In each of the programs, proposed projects developed a more strategic approach to highway project selection are scored and ranked based upon how well the proposed projects than previously used in the Comprehensive Transportation Program address the relevant evaluation criteria. Then, selections are made (CTP) which based project selection solely on engineering factors. based upon the combined information. The addition of these new In T-WORKS, while engineering factors still play an important role factors helps ensure that a project is not only a sound engineering in project selections, they have been augmented with economic project but is also a project that aligns with the goals and priorities impact evaluation and/or local input in two of the primary of a region and in the case of expansion projects provides economic programs. Additionally, the timing of projects selected to proceed to benefits. Project selection for the fourth core program, Local construction for the larger scale Preservation projects has changed Construction, remains unchanged and is determined at the local A-3 like minor bridge repairs, resurfacing, patching and seals.

The road, bridge and other expansion programs are evaluated using the engineering-based set-aside group of projects are selected on an annual basis while the formulas KDOT already has established. Regional priorities are larger scale preservation projects use the rolling two-year selection determined through local-consult meetings held throughout the process. Since most projects in the Preservation program are state with the most recent held this fall.
