Kansas DOT is responding to changes in travel and freight movement to ensure their agency supports the existing and expected changes in transportation, communications, and IT technologies. Secretary Lorenz of Kansas DOT recently announced they are establishing the Multimodal Transportation and Innovation Division at KDOT. She added, this division, led by Cory Davis, will contain the Bureau of Multimodal Transportation and the Bureau of Innovation (previously the Division of Innovative Technologies). Secretary Lorenz added that they seek to demonstrate KDOT’s commitment to multimodal transportation and innovation and are excited to elevate that work. We are confident that the Division will pay big dividends to the citizens of Kansas.
