Announcements

Pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities have steadily been on the rise in Kentucky over the last five years; see the latest statistics in the table above. Motorists are not always to blame for incidents involving pedestrians and cyclists - be attententive to your surroundings and make yourself easily visible while walking or biking on or near roadways. Be sure to wear a proper-fitting helmet while cycling as well.
KYTC is pleased to announce that a new safety measure has been approved by Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) to now use green-colored pavement for marked bicycle lanes and bicycle lane extensions in the commonwealth for all roadways. The green-colored pavement helps make motorists more aware of the presence of the bicycle facility on the roadway.

The widely popular Complete Streets Workshops from last year have returned in 2024. For dates, locations, and registration information, please visit the Complete Streets Webpage.
Bicycle friendly communities and businesses can apply for recognition of this feat with the League of American Bicyclists. Click on the application link if your community or busniess is interested in this recognition. Deadlines are coming up in June.
