Kentucky Freight Plan Receives Approval

Mid-America Freight Coalition 

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet received approval of the Kentucky Freight Plan on December 4, 2017.

The Kentucky Freight Plan is a supplement to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s 2014 Long-Range Statewide Transportation Plan.  The Freight Plan was developed upon the recommendations of the federal transportation bill, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). Enacted in 2012, MAP-21 encouraged each state to develop a comprehensive statewide freight plan for guiding state freight transportation investments.

For more information about this plan, visit the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet website.
