Work in the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet goes beyond the laying down of new pavement across the Commonwealth. Preparation for an expected increase in electric vehicles is also a part of the transportation department’s agenda.
A primary focus in state transportation currently is the establishment of fast chargers along Kentucky's interstates and parkways. Transportation Secretary Jim Gray said contracts have been let for some of the up to 37 stations. While attending this month’s inauguration festivities, Gray said construction is anticipated to begin in the coming weeks.
