Highways

Bridges, Local Streets and Roads

Kentucky's local road, highway and bridge network includes a total of 80,000 miles of roadway.

An extensive road network of major highways, interstates, rural secondary roads, county roads, municipal roads, and nearly 14,000 bridges connects Kentucky’s citizens to a variety of life enhancing opportunities including education, employment, health care, social services, and retail facilities.

The road network also provides opportunities for Kentucky’s industrial, agricultural, and commercial entities who use the transportation network to move freight in a timely and efficient manner. Need facts about freight, location, etc.

Funding

Kentucky’s local road, highway, and bridge network must be continually improved, enhanced, and maintained with an emphasis on safety. Funding for such projects is derived primarily from fees collected from users of the road and highway network.

In order to ensure that adequate revenues are available to enhance, maintain, and improve Kentucky’s roads and bridges, KBT urges the General Assembly to modernize & reform Kentucky’s road funding mechanisms to address immediate and long-term transportation needs. We recommend this be done through the formation of a Blue-Ribbon Commission to develop strategies on how Kentucky can best transition current transportation funding models, recognizing that changing fuel sources will impact how the Commonwealth funds vital transportation infrastructure. We support implementation of an appropriate inflationary index to preserve the value of road fund dollars for both motor fuel and EV charging stations. And long overdue  adjustment of electric and hybrid vehicle fees to better align them with fees paid by gas vehicles.

KBT emphatically supports protecting workers and motorists in highway construction zones by implementing common sense measures, including work zone camera enforcement, to encourage the traveling public to reduce speed while workers are present.
