Bike/Ped Planning in the Kansas City Region

Metrogreen – a proposed 1,144-mile interconnected system of public and private open spaces and greenway trails designed to link seven counties in the Kansas City metropolitan area.

Transportation Outlook 2040 This plan outlines a new vision for how transportation investments will relate to land use in the future.

Creating Quality Places – encourages sustainable design practices throughout the Kansas City area. Twenty principles were developed in 1999 through the work of four committees made up of elected and appointed officials, planning professionals, citizens, developers, builders, architects and engineers.

Information to facilitate implementation of these principles, case studies documenting local and national project examples, model ordinances, design standards and financing mechanisms can be found on the website.

Americans with Disabilities Act resources – MARC supports the Americans with Disabilities Act through public involvement in the transportation planning process, and by providing support to local jurisdictions through periodic training and education about responsibilities under the ADA.
