Map Viewer

MARC has an online mapping application, the Kansas City Data Atlas that provides information relevant to project sponsors. The map displays several layers and can be used to view the proximity of submitted projects to important regional assets, like MetroGreen® corridors, activity centers, Smart Moves corridors, freight corridors, etc.

The KC Data Atlas lets users see multiple map overlays at a time, click on features to get more information about them, and make simple measurements. To see the full list of data layers available, click on the Content button at the left top of the KC Data Atlas.
