NKADD and KY Transportation Cabinet Seeks Input: Every day we hear about terrible accidents on our local roads. The NKADD is partnering with the KY Transportation Cabinet’s Technology Transfer Program to develop a comprehensive safety action plan for Boone, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, Owen, and Pendleton Counties. The safety action plan aims to reduce and eliminate serious injury and fatal crashes affecting all roadway users. We need your help in identifying safety concerns in our region.  Please take a few moments to complete the NKY Safety Action Plan survey. This survey will be combined with crash analysis and local agency review of roadways to identify potential safety issues on county roadways.  Once identified the NKADD and local counties will work to identify counter measures to improve safety.  The safety action plan will be used to direct local forces and funds and pursue additional funding from KYTC and USDOT.  Here is the survey link."

September is City Government Month

City Government Month is a way to bring city government to life for children. It’s a fun way to learn how cities function and inspire children – our local leaders of the future. 

We encourage schools to visit www.citymonth.org and click “Teacher Central” to access 15 lesson plans designed for all grade levels. These plans can be used over a three-week time frame or individually. Additionally, on the “Kids Zone” portion of the website, there is an interactive map and online resources for each lesson. 

To further enhance their usefulness, the lessons are tired directly to the Kentucky Statewide Learning Goals and Academic Expectations. Teachers can download an implementation guide, lesson plans, a colors and activity book, and other promotional items under “Teacher Central” or “City Officials” tab.
