Photos provided by Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.

Kentucky high school students around the state painted plow blades to bring awareness to safe winter driving.

Winter weather can create hazardous conditions for all that share the road. Paint the Plow is an opportunity for students to paint KYTC snowplow blades to promote safe driving habits for their communities during inclement winter weather.

More Flexibility for Local Federal-aid Projects

FHWA published guidance regarding provisions contained in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) that provide additional design flexibility to local jurisdictions developing Federal-aid projects on roadways under their ownership.

The guidance outlines the flexibility available for NHS and non-NHS projects and links to a website listing alternate roadway design publications that have been recognized by FHWA.

New FHWA Programmatic Mitigation

Planning Guidebook

A new FHWA Programmatic Mitigation Planning Guidebook has been developed as a proactive planning tool to improve environmental outcomes and transportation project delivery.

The guidebook serves as a resource for transportation and environmental practitioners at State Departments of Transportation (DOTs), Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and other transportation entities to assist in the development and implementation of programmatic mitigation plans (PMPs) for impacts of future transportation projects to environmental, cultural, or historic resources.

Check out the guidebook here.

The Kentucky League of Cities released a new publication to help cities and organizations that serve cities respond to and prepare for any disaster.
