NOTICE: New Complete Streets, Roads, and Highways Training The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is excited to announce the development of the new Complete Streets, Roads, and Highways Manual. Historically, streets and highways were designed around motor vehicle traffic and did not always consider alternative modes of transportation. Today, our transportation planners and designers approach roadway development holistically, taking the needs of all users into account and construct facilities accordingly. To accompany the release of the manual, KYTC is offering a series of full-day workshop at locations across the commonwealth. This workshop will be a requirement for prequalification for Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning and Design starting in January 2024. Please visit KYTC's Complete Streets website (https://transportation.ky.gov/BikeWalk/Pages/Complete-Streets.aspx) to register for one of the sessions today!
