Transportation in the Metro - How Should We Grow?

02/23/2010 – How members of the community can get involved in regional transportation planning.


Transportation is a major part of our every day life.  As the Metro continues to grow, how we should proceed with the transportation issue has become a major topic of discusssion.  There are several ways for members of the Kansas City metro to get involved in the process.

KCPT will co-produce a special town hall program with the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC), which will air on Thursday, February 25th at 8:00 pm.  There will also be several repeat broadcasts

KCPT

  • February 28th at noon
  • March 1st at 9:30 pm
  • March 2nd at 2:00 pm

KCPT2

  • March 2nd at 9:00 am, 2:00 pm & 8:00 pm
  • March 3rd at 2:00 am

The Mid-America Regional Council has been proactive in this process by creating Transportation Outlook 2040, a regional transportation plan.  This long-range vision looks ahead 30 years, and will serve as a guide in transportation decision-making and funding.

The framework for the plan includes common themes brought up in meetings with citizens, community leaders and transportation committees. MARC wants more community input regarding the plan and its implementation.  Citizens have been invited to dicussion meetings, and can post blogs and take the online survey on the Transportation Outlook 2040 web site to provide their input.
