TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) – The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is now accepting applications for the agency’s Innovative Technology Program in the fall of 2024.
The Program provides financial assistance to governmental and non-governmental organizations for innovative transportation-related projects that promote safety, improve access or mobility, and implement new transportation technology.
“Innovative technology” is any technology that does not currently exist in the local community of the project. This allows local communities to determine what projects to submit based on their specific needs.
All transportation system projects, including roadway, rail, aviation, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), bicycle/pedestrian, public transit, software, and technology infrastructure, are eligible.
Candidate projects should include investments that provide transportation benefits and are not eligible for other KDOT programs.
This round of grant funding has an overall budget of $2 million, with a maximum awarded amount of $1 million per project.
A project concept must be submitted and approved by KDOT before an application is provided to the applicant.
The project concepts deadline is Nov. 17, and the application deadline is Nov. 30.
