A new website created by the Kansas Department of Transportation\u2019s Division of Aviation, in collaboration with industry experts, is providing a close-up look at all 140 public-use airports across the state and their impact on the communities they serve. Online dashboards<\/a> provide the conditions of airport runways, economic impact data, future airport needs and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery airport serves a unique and important role for their\ncommunity,\u201d said Bob Brock, KDOT Director of Aviation. \u201cIt is this uniqueness\nthat makes credible data on individual airports even more important to local,\nstate and national decision-makers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Division of Aviation<\/a> worked with aviation industry leaders to publish key airport performance data online. Two new tools on this website offer precise aviation economic impact data for each community as well as current information on the status of airport pavement health used to program long-term airport investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith this combination of data for every airport, KDOT\nexpects significant improvement in projects that deliver the most positive\nimpact for the community as well as increased capacity to complete projects\nmore efficiently,\u201d Brock said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The KDOT Aviation website includes information on how\ncommunities and airport operators can apply for grants, most notably through\nthe Kansas Airport Improvement Program. For 22 years, KAIP grants have enabled\ncommunities to partner with KDOT on 820-plus airport improvement projects\ntotaling nearly $200 million in value. In turn, these Kansas public-use\nairports support nearly 34,000 jobs and roughly $11 billion of on-airport economic\nimpact within the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
