Transportation Planning

 

The purpose of the PADD Transportation Program is to support the KYTC Statewide Planning Process.  The PADD is responsible mainly for the coordination of public input, analysis of data, identification and evaluation of transportation needs in the region, and the subsequent evaluation and prioritization/ranking of projects on the KYTC Unscheduled Projects List (UPL) for possible inclusion in the KYTC Highway Plan.  The statewide planning process involves local governments, the general public, and the PADD Regional Transportation Committee.

 

It is the responsibility of the PADD, KYTC Highway District 1, and the KYTC to review and evaluate the regional transportation system and all current UPL projects.  The purpose of evaluating the regional transportation system and current UPL is to analysize the data and determine the "need" for a project, assess the relative impacts on a comprehensive set of planning factors identified in federal regulations and state guidelines, and determine how the KYTC goals and objectives and the PADD goals and objectives are being met and addressed.  The ADD will evaluate projects for factors that can be applied and/or considered at the local and/or regional level.  The KYTC may provide additional consideration factors based on current KYTC criteria for the selection of projects.

 

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet website provides access to various transportation data resources.  City and county maps, traffic count data and maps as well as extracts from the Highway Information System (HIS) are available for viewing and printing.

UNSCHEDULED PROJECTS LIST

PRIORITIZATION PROCESS

 

Projects on the KYTC Unscheduled Projects List (UPL) are prioritized at the local, regional, district and state level every two years.  The projects on the list have been identified through the statewide planning process.  There is no set funding or implementation schedule for projects identified on the UPL.  The KYTC uses the prioritization information as input into the recommended Highway Plan that is submitted to the Kentucky General Assembly on a biennial basis.

 

A major part of the PADD’s regional transportation planning program is working with the local officials, the regional transportation committee and the general public in setting transportation priorities for all identified projects on the KYTC's UPL. PADD staff work with the local officials and local transportation committees to first identify the local priority.  The regional committee is tasked with setting the regional priorities. These rankings are submitted to the KYTC District 1 and the District staff complete District priorities. The KYTC Division of Planning will then review all the statewide projects and priorities/rankings. Once this analysis is complete, the Division of Planning selects the projects to be considered in the recommended Biennial Highway Plan that is presented to the General Assembly.

The FY11 Priority Process began in December 2010 and was completed in June 2011.  Rankings were completed using the UPL Base List of projects for Prioritization.  A Regional Overall Top 15 list was selected from three cost tier top 10 lists.
