The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has scheduled eight regional meetings to update Kansans on T-WORKS projects in their areas and gather input from the public on how state transportation dollars are being invested. T-WORKS is a $7.8 billion 10-year transportation program passed by the Kansas Legislature in May 2010. Leading up to the passage of T-WORKS, thousands of Kansans participated in local consultation meetings hosted by KDOT to identify regional priorities. These meetings are part of KDOT�??s continuing emphasis on collaboration with the public in implementing the T-WORKS program. The Southwest Kansas meeting is set for Wednesday, September 26, at the Magouirk Conference Center in Dodge City, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
