Meeting

Freight Study Public Meeting

MARC, in partnership with Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (LDCMPO) and Pioneer Trails Regional Planning Commission (PTRPC), is wrapping up the planning process for Connected Freight KC 2050 – A Plan in Action. This study considers regional, state and national contexts while positioning our communities to proactively address shifts in the freight industry. 

The final future-focused planning document will: 

• Frame the region’s 2050 vision for freight and provide recommendations to guide its realization.
• Identify and prioritize freight corridors, infrastructure investments, policy changes for land development and more within urbanized and rural contexts.
• Define roles and responsibilities for planning agencies in regional, state and national freight planning.
• Support regional, state and federal freight goals and objectives. 

Join us for coffee and a final report on the draft plan. 

This event is free to attend, but registration is encouraged.
