Connected KC 2050 is the metropolitan transportation plan for the Kansas City region. It guides spending for the next 25–30 years and aims to improve transportation in the region by setting goals, policies, strategies and prioritizing projects.

This plan update is required of all metro areas every five years and will be complete in June 2050. Key takeaways of the update include data indicating that the region is becoming older and more diverse, with smaller household sizes. After review of financial projections, it is anticipated that the region will be able to advance some enhancements to the highway system to address existing congestion. However, although federal COVID-19 pandemic-related funding temporarily boosted transit operations over the past five years, long-term regional funding has not. Unfortunately, the current update predicts no new revenue for transit projects and services in the long-range plan. Addressing this funding gap for transit services will be a key recommendation in the plan.
