These data and tools produced, collected and processed by the Mid-America Regional Council provide information about the work of MARC's Transportation Department.
Metropolitan
Regional Roadway Functional Classification Map (Google map viewer)
This map shows the
major roadways for the MARC region by functional classification.
Regional External Station Survey Report 2008 (5MB, pdf)
MARC has conducted a roadside external station survey to gather data about travel coming into and going out of the Kansas City region. The data will be used to update the region’s travel-demand model, which helps planners provide better travel forecasts for the metro area.
Vehicle
Occupancy Study 2002 (986KB,
pdf)
Recent update
of MARC's ongoing effort to monitor the region's vehicle occupancy
rate.
Travel Time Study 2007 (update)

City metropolitan road network. Final report being completed.

Regional
Household Travel Survey Results (3MB,

and pedestrian facilities.
Regional Household Travel Survey Final Report 2004 (3.1MB, pdf)
On-board
Transit Survey 2005 (3MB, pdf)
In 2005, MARC directed an on-board passenger survey to track travel patterns
as a follow-up to the regional household travel survey completed in 2004.
Survey results offer insights about how and where to expand transit
availability into other markets and increase service for existing routes.
The data will be used to update the regional travel demand
model, which helps forecast future travel characteristics within the Kansas
City metropolitan area.
