On March 19, Kansas legislators passed a $10 billion transportation infrastructure plan named The Eisenhower Legacy Transportation Program, which has a focus on safety and economic growth. 

The program will span 10 years of scheduled projects, allowing for the maintenance and improvement of roads and highways in Kansas. Additionally, there is funding for broadband infrastructure grants and improvements to the state’s short line railroad system.
