An increased budget for the Kentucky Department of Transportation will allow for more projects to move forward in the coming year. The bipartisan infrastructure law recently passed by congress will allow for a 30 percent annual increase in the funding given to Kentucky by the Federal Highway Administration. Jim Gray is the Kentucky Transportation Secretary. He said it is important both sides of the aisle come together.
"So that says there is bipartisan support, which is a good thing for transportation. You know, I've been saying a lot lately that our roads are not red or blue, they are just Kentucky roads. So, that's what this budget really represents is Kentucky roads, all across our state."
