​The Division of Planning is responsible for conducting Small Urban Area (SUA) Transportation Studies in Kentucky for areas with populations greater than 5,000.  A Small Urban Transportation Study provides a thorough examination of an area’s transportation network. The study includes an analysis of existing and future traffic conditions with the goal of identifying needs for a transportation network that will efficiently move ever-increasing volumes of goods and travelers. Products from a completed study include an Operational Improvement Plan, a Travel Demand Model, and a Recommended Improvements Plan identifying solutions to forecasted Level of Service (LOS) deficiencies​.
