Reader’s Digest has ranked Kansas highways #1 in the nation. KDOT had three Governors and four former Transportation Secretaries at a chilly news conference this morning to celebrate the news. Governors Hayden, Graves and Parkinson all remarked that this accomplishment was possible because of the investments Kansans were willing to make in their transportation system. As Gov. Hayden said, “These roads aren’t free and they’re not cheap.” They also pointed out that if we want our system to remain in good condition, additional funding is necessary. The timing couldn’t be better as the Senate Transportation Committee is holding hearings this week on T-WORKS, the name given to the future transportation program.
