Regional Initiatives

As part of its efforts to build a stronger regional community through cooperation, leadership and planning, MARC takes part in a number of transportation-related initiatives in the Kansas City region. Web pages for current and ongoing initiatives are linked below:

• Smart Moves
  The Smart Moves plan is a comprehensive transit improvement strategy that integrates services throughout the seven-county Kansas City metropolitan area. It features transit centers providing passenger amenities and convenient connections.
• RideShare
  RideShare is a free, publicly funded commuter service designed to inform people about less expensive and environmentally friendly commuting alternatives. It also matches drivers and passengers for carpools.
• MetroGreen®
  MetroGreen® is a proposed 1,144-mile interconnected system of public and private open spaces, greenways and trails designed to link seven counties in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
• Operation Green Light
  Operation Green Light is a project to improve the coordination of traffic signals on major routes throughout the Kansas City area. It will help synchronize traffic signals on major routes throughout the region.
• Transportation Safety Planning
  MARC conducts transportation safety-conscious planning to address the serious public health hazard of motor vehicle crashes and to keep in line with goals established locally and nationally.
• Congestion Management System
  The Congestion Management System is a systematic process of monitoring the causes of congestion on a region’s multi-modal transportation systems and recommending alternative strategies to manage it.
• Special Transportation
  MARC supports and contracts for transit services that meet the needs of the region's special populations including the aging, welfare recipients, low-income individuals or persons with disabilities.
• Linking Conservation and Transportation Planning
  MARC is working to better incorporate conservation into transportation planning in the Kansas City region.
