Address:Transportation Public Input
Our goal is to have significant and ongoing public involvement in the transportation planning process. We encourage you to voice your ideas and opinions about specific actions or transportation issues at any time.
A period for public comment is provided for the updates and major amendments to all of the primary transportation-planning projects for which MARC is responsible (Unified Planning Work Program, Transportation Improvement Program and Long-Range Transportation Plan). All comments received are documented and reviewed by staff, and responses are drafted for consideration by the appropriate committee.
Review proposed changes to Transportation Improvement Program
MARC has released a 2nd Quarter 2013 Amendment for to the 2012–2016 Transportation Improvement Program for public review. The proposed amendment includes 8 new and 12 modified projects.
The TIP documents how Greater Kansas City will prioritize limited transportation resources to meet the needs of the region. The TIP contains major surface transportation projects planned to receive federal, state and local funding within the metro area that will be carried out in the next five years. MARC amends the TIP on a quarterly cycle to accommodate changes to projects in the TIP.
