K-TRAN (Kansas Transportation Research and New-Developments Program) is an ongoing cooperative and comprehensive research program that uses the academic and research resources of all three participating agencies (KDOT, KU, KSU).
Major benefits of the program are expected to include high quality transportation research targeted to Kansas Transportation needs, financial support to engineering students (in an effort to increase the pool of transportation professionals in Kansas), continuing education opportunities for agency personnel enhanced quality of faculty, staff, and graduates in the transportation area, and increased ability to attract federal research resources for use in Kansas.
Coupled with in-house research efforts, these programs will provide critical information to enable the agency to more efficiently design, construct, and maintain the Kansas transportation system.
Contact Dan Wadley, P.E., Bureau Chief of Research, for more information about any of these programs.
