(KNZA)--The city of Sabetha is among more than thirty cities across Kansas that have been awarded grants through the Transportation Alternatives program, which is administered by the Kansas Department of Transportation.
Governor Laura Kelly on Thursday announced a total of $28.5 million in funding for 32 projects in the state for fiscal year 2023-24.
Sabetha was awarded a $955,000 grant for a sidewalk project on Oregon Street. The grant requires a 20 percent local match.
For this grant round, KDOT received nearly 50 applications, totaling more than $83 million.
Funding for the Transportation Alternatives program comes from the Federal Highway Administration.
Since 2019, and as part of the Kelly administration's bipartisan Eisenhower Legacy Transportation Program, KDOT has awarded $59 million for 91 TA projects to both urban and rural communities. This round of TA fund distribution was larger than previous years due to additional federal funds provided to Kansas as part of the bi-partisan infrastructure law.
