• Coordinate with neighboring counties, cities,
FHMPO and KDOT to expedite needed projects
on County and State roadways, including active
participation in regional transportation funding
entities and efforts.

› Collaborate closely with Wabaunsee County
to determine path forward for reconstruction
of Belvue Bridge. Communicate joint-
decision clearly to the public.
› Expand existing biannual US-24 Corridor
meeting to include officials from police, fire,
EMS, and unified school districts. Consider
establishing a second formal, yearly or
twice-yearly meeting to facilitate better
coordination of transportation planning
goals and projects that would include
transportation officials, police, fire, EMS,
unified school districts and cities for the
remainder of the County outside of the
US-24 Corridor.

› Coordinate with transit providers to
ensure that public transportation routes
and schedules are meeting the needs
of Pottawatomie County residents. For
example, do existing routes maximize
access to opportunity (such as employment,
medical care, education/training, etc.)?
Future transit use should be based on future
growth patterns of development even
if existing development patterns do not
currently support transit.
