The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has initiated a two-phase study that involves residents, community leaders and transportation representatives to assess changing transportation needs in five northeast Kansas counties (Douglas, Johnson, Leavenworth, Miami and Wyandotte). The 5-County Regional Transportation Planning Study has three goals: assessthe multi-modal transportation needs of the region, prioritize the needs, and develop strategies to address them.

		What is the most important future transportation issue for the 5-County area?
		Reducing roadway congestion
		Preserving existing transportation facilities and services
		Providing new roadways to connect the region
		Expanding transit services
		Providing transportation services to developing areas
