The modern transportation system that we know today is born from a variety of needs. Whether the need is to bring a crop to market, transport an ill person to medical care, or safely get a child home after a day at school, the mission of the Kansas Department of Transportation is to provide a statewide transportation system to meet the needs of Kansas. The agency fulfills its mission with a variety of programs that address highway, rail, air, bicycle/pedestrian, transit, and local projects needs. There is more to meeting the needs of Kansas than safety, access, mobility, or the efficient and effective movement of people, goods, and services. A transportation system exists within the human and environmental contexts in which it is built and maintained. The challenge of public involvement lies in identifying what people find important and integrating their values, issues, and concerns into decisions about the transportation system.
