What Moves You? KY Transportation Cabinet asks — and wants responses so we can ‘Get There Together’

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is currently in the process of updating their Long-Range Statewide Transportation Plan, so they are asking Kentuckians to take an online survey to find out, “What Moves You?”

The information that is collected will be used in preparing a plan which will identify the goals, policies, needs, and improvement priorities that will set the direction of Kentucky’s transportation system through 2045.

“Everyone relies on transportation to get us where we need to go,” said Transportation Secretary Jim Gray. “To connect us without jobs, with friends and family, to the people and places that we love and care about. But transportation is about more than just cars and roads. We want to help Kentuckians to get where they want to go, however they want to get there. That means whether it’s by car or by bus, or by boat, bike or on foot, even in a plane.”

According to the Cabinet, Kentucky’s long-range plan is updated about every seven years, to stay current and meet the needs of the rapidly changing transportation environment in the state.  The last plan was finalized in 2014.

Gray noted, “Our mission is to provide the people of Kentucky and those who travel through our state, with an efficient, environmentally sound and safe transportation network.  Multiple opportunities to provide your suggestions and opinions will be available over the course of our year-long planning process.”

The first step is the online survey, which is available now through December 6.  The Cabinet asks Kentuckians to feel free to submit their feedback, and to encourage others they know to do the same.

In January, KYTC will begin drafting the plan, with another public comment period and finalizing the Long-Range Statewide Transportation plan by the end of 2022.
The survey, along with more information, is available by going to GetThereTogetherKY.org.
