When they met Wednesday, Leavenworth County commissioners approved the allocation of $150,000 for a countywide transportation study.
The request for the funding was made by Greg Kaaz, chairman of the Leavenworth County Port Authority.

Kaaz said he also has requested funding for the study from the governing bodies of the cities of Leavenworth, Lansing, Basehor and Tonganoxie.
