Share input on changes and updates to multiple transportation plans

The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is the region’s short-range program that identifies projects to receive federal funds and projects that are of regional significance to be implemented over the next three to five years. MARC amends the TIP on both a quarterly cycle and as needed to accommodate changes to projects in the TIP.

The proposed 2026 Special Amendment #4 to the 2026–2030 Transportation Improvement Program includes 7 projects:  

•  3 new projects to be added, including but not limited to:
  • #725033 – Belton – Markey Parkway Phase 3 
  • #970131 – MARC – I-29 Corridor Improvement Project
  • #165024 – Leavenworth County - 235th St Improvements - Final Phase
• 4 existing projects with modifications to the scope, schedule, or budget 

The Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP):

• Describes the transportation planning activities MARC and other agencies will undertake during the year.
• Documents the proposed expenditures of federal, state and local funds in support of applications for various planning grants.
• Provides a management tool for MARC and the funding agencies in scheduling major transportation planning activities, milestones and products.  

MARC has drafted the 2027 UPWP that outlines the transportation planning work MARC and its partners intend to complete in 2027.

The Public Participation Plan (PPP) provides a framework that guides public involvement in MARC’s transportation planning projects. It specifies goals, strategies and techniques that encourage successful public participation.
