Project Funding

MARC disburses federal transportation funds in the metropolitan area through programs that support capital improvements, air quality, and expanded or enhanced transportation services.

  • Transportation Improvement Program
    Transportation Improvement Programs are important documents for budgeting the funds needed to make transportation improvements possible. The TIP contains individual transportation improvements and projects to be implemented in the next five years within the metropolitan planning boundary.
  • Surface Transportation Program
    The Surface Transportation Program provides project funding recommendations to receive federal funds to complete a variety of improvements to streets in urban areas that are eligible for federal aid.
  • Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program
    The Bridge Program provides project funding recommendations to receive federal funds to reconstruct, replace, rehabilitate, repair and widen deficient highway bridges.
  • Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality
    Federal Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality funds support transportation projects that improve air quality in areas where the Environmental Protection Agency considers air quality to be poor, or where there have been air quality problems in the past.
  • Transportation Enhancements
    The Kansas and Missouri Transportation Enhancements program funds projects that expand travel choices and enhance the transportation experience through improvements to the cultural, aesthetic, historic and environmental aspects of the transportation network.
  • Job Access and Reverse Commute Program
    The federal Job Access and Reverse Commute program improves mobility and economic opportunity for welfare recipients and low-income individuals by funding new or expanded transportation services.
  • New Freedom Program
    The federal New Freedom Program supports new public transportation services and public transportation alternatives that go beyond those required by the Americans with Disablities Act of 1990.
  • Vehicles for Elderly/Disabled: Section 5310 Capital Assistance Program
    The federal Section 5310 Program supports transporting the elderly and/or disabled where public transportation services are unavailable, insufficient or inappropriate.
  • Aging Transportation Program
    MARC contracts each year with providers that offer transportation services for the aging and people with disabilities in Cass, Clay, Jackson, Platte and Ray counties in Missouri.
  • TIGER Award (Green Impact Zone & Regional Transit Corridors)
    The Kansas City region received $50 million through the TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) federal program. The funds support transportation investments in the Green Impact Zone and along key regional transit corridors.
