Background

“Active transportation” is walking, using a wheelchair or scooter, bicycling, roller skating or skateboarding for transportation. The Kansas ATP will be the state's first comprehensive plan in 25 years to specifically address the needs of pedestrians, cyclists and other active transportation users. It will provide KDOT an opportunity to examine its infrastructure, practices, policies and needs. The final plan will be a key tool for KDOT staff and local officials. It will include KDOT's vision, recommendations and decision-making criteria related to active transportation. We began the planning process during spring 2020 and will continue through late 2021. Watch our video.
