About Us

​While our work spans across modes and departments, the more than 4,000 employees at the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) are driven to provide an efficient transportation system to safely move people and goods and deliver first-class programs and services to Kentuckians. KYTC’s 12 Department of Highway districts improve the quality of life in every corner of the state by overseeing construction projects, maintaining nearly 28,000 miles of highways and 9,000 state bridges, and keeping state routes passable during snow and ice season. There’s more to us than roads and bridges! Kentucky's booming aviation presence spurs the economy and is home to three global air cargo hubs. We also oversee the state's motor vehicle and driver services, including driver’s license issuance and vehicle registration.
