Kansas Department of Transportation Cost Share Program – Fall 2026
Verification hold. KDOT's Fall 2026 Cost Share Program opened August 17 and closes September 24, 2026. Eligible transportation projects require at least a 15% local cash match. The current official program page does not state an exact closing clock time or time zone, and Atlas could not authoritatively inspect the linked Fall 2026 fact sheet, FAQ, and sample application during this run, so publication and outreach remain blocked.

Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 52/100. N9+ Fit 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit 0/100. Direct Vendor Fit 0/100. Kansas-owned transportation infrastructure opportunity with broad mobility and economic-development value, but no established clinical technology or healthcare procurement pathway. Deadline and packet verification block ORIGINAL outreach.
Opportunity Overview
The Kansas Department of Transportation Cost Share Program provides financial assistance to local entities for transportation projects that improve safety, support job retention and growth, improve access or mobility, relieve congestion, and improve the state transportation system.
The Fall 2026 round opened August 17, 2026 and closes September 24, 2026. KDOT’s public application link describes the closing point only as end of day September 24, 2026; the current public page does not state an exact clock time or time zone.
Eligible Project Types and Match
KDOT states that communities may seek assistance for highway, local road, bridge, rail, airport, bicycle, pedestrian, and public transit projects. A minimum 15% local cash match is required. KDOT funds are used exclusively to match construction costs.
The current Fall 2026 program page does not publish a round-specific total funding pool or per-award minimum or maximum. Atlas will not infer those values from prior rounds or secondary summaries.
Submission and Verification Hold
The official KDOT page provides a Fall 2026 online application link, fact sheet, FAQ, and sample application. Atlas could not authoritatively inspect the linked Fall 2026 fact sheet, FAQ, or sample application during this run because the controlling document endpoint did not return the documents for review.
Before publication, applicant qualification, CRM pursuit, grant package production, or ORIGINAL outreach, Atlas must verify the Fall 2026 packet’s complete applicant conditions, required forms and attachments, scoring and selection rules, amendments or clarifications, any project-readiness requirements, the exact closing clock time and time zone, and all submission mechanics. Do not infer missing terms.
Atlas Fit
Atlas Opportunity Score: 52/100. The program is a meaningful Kansas infrastructure and mobility funding opportunity but is not healthcare-specific. N9+ Fit: 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. Do not force a clinical technology or healthcare procurement use case.
No ORIGINAL outreach is authorized while the deadline and packet-level verification items remain unresolved.
