The Long-Range
Statewide Transportation Plan is a 25-year multimodal
plan for Kentucky’s transportation system produced
by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and required
through the federal transportation reauthorization
acts, ISTEA in 1991 and TEA-21 in 1998 and SAFETEA-LU
in 2005. Federal legislation required the states to
produce the first Statewide Transportation Plan by
1995 and to update the document periodically.
Kentucky produced their first Statewide Transportation
Plan (STP) in January 1995, the first update in December
1999, and the current update was produced in 2006.
The first two plans were both policy and project plans,
however, the current 25-year Plan is a policy-only
plan that identifies a vision and set of goals developed
through outreach and consultation, transportation
needs, available resources and the transportation
strategies which will be utilized to most efficiently
serve the mobility, safety and economic needs of the
people.
On February 14, 2007, the
Federal Final Rule on revising the regulations required
by the passage of the SAFETEA-LU federal transportation
legislation, which governed the state transportation
plans, was published. Kentucky had completed
the public review and comment period for the 2006
Updated STP in November of 2006. Therefore,
Kentucky has produced Amendment #1
to the 2006 Long-Range Statewide Transportation Plan to specifically address any additional requirements
in the federal regulations.
You may view or download and print the Plan in its
entirety or by chapter from this website. A CD ROM
or a printed copy of the Plan is available upon request
