The third in a series of statewide meetings aiming to revamp the state's transportation plans for the next decade will be Friday in Topeka.
Members of the recently formed transportation task force and staff with the Kansas Department of Transportation will meet from 8:30 a.m. to noon and again from 1:30 to 4 p.m. at the Ramada Hotel and Convention Center, 420 S.E. 6th St. Members of the public are invited to attend morning break-out sessions, while questions and comments will be answered during the optional afternoon session, a KDOT spokeswoman said.
The meeting is the first of eight to be conducted throughout the state in September to discuss regional and state transportation priorities.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius created the task force in August to help develop the state's next long-term transportation program. That program will determine Kansas' transportation priorities over the next 10 years, including much of the state's road, rail, trail and airport projects.
