The KDOT Cost Share Program provides financial assistance to local entities for transportation projects that improve safety, support job retention and growth, improve access or mobility, relieve congestion and help areas across the state improve the transportation system. The Cost Share program is one of KDOT’s most flexible funding opportunities for communities, allowing communities to apply for assistance with a wide range of highway, local road, bridge, rail, airport, bicycle, pedestrian and public transit projects – as long as they can provide at least a 15 percent local cash match. KDOT funds are used exclusively to match construction costs for these projects. The Cost Share Program application will be available only on the KDOT website, beginning Monday, Aug. 23, 2021. All 2021 KDOT Cost Share Program applications must be completed through the online application available at http://www.ksdot.org/CostShare/CostShareProgram.asp by Friday, Sept. 24, 2021.
