Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear announced Monday the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) had received more than $5 million in federal funds to prevent wrong-way crashes on Interstates in his state.
Kentucky’s Wrong Way Driving and Integrated Safety Technology System will receive $5.14 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD) program. The ATCMTD program provides more than $45 million in grants to deploy advanced intelligent transportation system technologies to improve mobility and safety, as well as provide multimodal transportation options and support underserved communities. Kentucky is one of 10 ATCMTD grant recipients, the FHWA said.
