The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) requires recipients of Block Grant Program funds to prepare a TDP major update every five years.

Each update must be submitted to the appropriate FDOT District Office by September 1st of the year due.

An analysis of Baseline Conditions was performed to detail the community profile and land use characteristics and to assess how efficiently KWT provides service based on the 2018-2022 National Transit Database (NTD) information. General metrics such as passenger trips, vehicle miles, revenue hours, and operating costs show improving trends over those past five years.
