Moran Secures DOT Grant for Hays | 2018-12-07 | 2018 | 2018-12 | Republican | House | KS | Jerry Moran | M000934 | www.moran.senate.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) member of the U.S. Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee announced that the City of Hays was awarded $6.05 million by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) for infrastructure improvements along U.S. 183. These funds have been released as part of a new USDOT grant program, known as Better Utilizing Investment to Leverage Development (BUILD), which places greater emphasis on rural infrastructure than prior federal transportation grant programs. Hays is a growing community that is critical to our state, and I was pleased to help secure federal funding to maintain and improve its surface infrastructure, said Sen. Moran. I will continue working with my colleagues and local leaders to build on this progress and to advocate for more federal dollars to return to Kansas for improvement projects right here at home. Item to Note: In July, Sen. Moran sent a letter to Department of Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao in support of this project. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
