HUTCHINSON, Kan. — K-Dot will make a stop in Hutchinson Tuesday to discuss the future of transportation in Kansas. The stop is one of a series of Local Consult meetings hosted by the K-Dot to give citizens a chance to discuss regional transportation priorities and participate in
scenario planning for the future. The meeting runs from 9 a.m. until 12 noon at the Atrium.

“These meetings are an important opportunity for stakeholders to help set the vision for
transportation in Kansas,” Secretary of Transportation Julie Lorenz said. “This is a
transformational time in transportation, and we need you to help chart our success into
the future.”

At the meetings, stakeholders will review facts and trends and explore alternative future
possibilities through scenario planning. Stakeholders will also have the opportunity to
present information about transportation projects not discussed during last fall’s Joint
Legislative Transportation Vision Task Force meetings.

“I strongly encourage you to attend KDOT’s upcoming local consult meetings, so we
hear your thoughts and create a transportation system that works for all Kansans,
regardless of where they live,” Gov. Laura Kelly said.
