Data Collection Project
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has contracted with the ADD to record new and update the existing selected roadway inventory data such as intersections, shoulder data, median data, speed limit data, etc. on state maintained roads in South Eastern Kentucky. This data is used to determine portions of Kentucky’s federal aid apportionments each year. It is also used to support a host of other functions within and outside of the Transportation Cabinet, including; economic modeling and development, mapping, project planning and programming, and performance monitoring. Data Collection contact: Gladys Slone.
