Kansas ranks fourth nationally in total miles of streets and highways. Maintaining such a large system is a burden to all levels of government. There are similarities between Kansas and surrounding states, particularly Iowa and Nebraska. This suggests that the conventional functional classification was done properly. It is evident that national averages do not provide appropriate guidelines for attaining a classification that produces an optimal decision making basis for states such as Kansas. The Highway Performance Monitoring System model proved to be a useful tool for demonstrating the benefits of using different criteria to classify Kansas' highways. An estimate of total needs to attain an assumed level of service was not particularly useful. However, a comparison of the higher user costs associated with the existing functional classification--which attempts to being all arterials, no matter how minor, up to arterial standards--to the costs associated with the State Transportation Planning classification system, proved convincing to policy makers.
