Goals of Today • Background Information & Presentation • Interactive Discussion • Why? • To establish the importance of transportation investments to the region • To glean insights to current needs being met and going unmet • To begin to establish what comes beyond T-WORKS • What topics will we cover? • How did we get here • Major lessons of T-WORKS • Next steps for next transportation program 3

Historical Context 4

Background: How did we get here? Comprehensive Highway Program (1989-1997) – $3.9 B Projects Funding Highways & Transit Focus on Preservation Paid for by 7 cents MFT, $.25 sales tax, registration fees -50% cars, 33% trucks, $890 M in bonds. Comprehensive Transportation Program (2000-2009) – $ 12.9 B Projects Funded Aviation and Rail for the first time Focused on Expansion 4 cents MFT phased, $995 M in Bonds Funding adjusted in 2002 increased MFT by 2 cents phased, $.45 increase in sales tax, registration fees - $5 for cars, $2-$10 trucks, $1.272 B in Bonds -cont- 5

What next? Next steps? Special Task Force Q&A with Panel Jerry Younger – KS Aggregate Producers Association-KS Ready Mixed Concrete Association Michael White – Kansas Contractors Association Dan Scherschligt – Kansas Asphalt Pavement Association 15

Questions to Consider How critical is transportation/infrastructure to your community? What are the impacts to projects not being completed? What are the impacts of the communities inability to respond to emerging needs? What priority should preserving the existing system in the future? 16

What are major lessons learned? Where are the opportunities for reflection over the long-term? What were some lessons learned through the T-WORKS program? What were major driving factors? 17

What are the next steps? What do we need to take an immediate look at as it relates to transportation funding? i.e. transfers, current needs, needs not met under last program The best way to encourage participation in these discussions? What is realistic? 18

Project Specific Needs Just projects canceled under T-WORKS? Other priorities? Other Preliminary Engineering Investment Promises? 19
