Starting this August, communities like Coffeyville, Garden City, Liberal, and Newton will map out improvements based on local needs and input. Meanwhile, Lawrence’s Cordley Elementary is launching a “bike bus” program, led by adults to safely escort students on group bike rides. The Kansas Department of Transportation is driving this statewide effort, with future funding rounds opening in spring 2027.
