Federal funds exceeding $11 million will go to support seven transportation projects in Kentucky. They’re anticipated to improve air quality and reduce traffic congestion.
The recipients come from five counties and range from local government agencies to public transit operators. In Lexington, the fiber optic network along a section of Man O War Boulevard will be extended to enhance traffic management capabilities. That could include better traffic signal timing. Four diesel buses and six paratransit gas-powered vehicles at Lextran will be replaced.
And for the city of Georgetown, just over one and a half million dollars will go to improve traffic flow near Scott County High School.
Money will be used to replace diesel buses in Louisville and Northern Kentucky with hybrid or electric buses.
