Kansas Turnpike Authority

Description

• The Kansas Turnpike Authority is a privately financed business that operates as an independent instrumentality of the state, performing an essential government function, specifically providing toll-supported transportation services.The Turnpike was planned and constructed prior to the federal Interstate highway system. Federal planners later designated the Turnpike as Interstate highway rather than building parallel roads, saving millions of dollars.The KTA has never received any federal or state tax dollars. Maintenance and operations are funded from tolls, which also support repayment of revenue bonds used to fund capital improvements. Some additional revenue is received by non-tolling sources such as leases and other contractual agreements.$9.2 million in motor fuel and sales tax collected from the Turnpikes six service areas is paid to the state of Kansas for use unrelated to the Turnpike.The Turnpikes 236 miles of Interstate roadway generate federal aid that is used by the state of Kansas. This additional federal aid goes into the state highway fund to help fund other Kansas transportation needs.
