Share your feedback on amendments to two 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 2024 first-quarter amendment to the 2024-2028 Transportation Improvement Program includes 15 projects:

• Add six new projects, including but not limited to:
  • #163018 – K-7 Mill & Overlay from Rees St to Poplar St
  • #590347 – RT A: Replace culvert 0.2 miles south of 120th Street
  • #990380 – Various: Job Order Contracting for signage repairs on various major routes in the urban Kansas City District.
     
• Modify the scope, schedule or budget of nine projects.

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.  

The proposed 2024 UPWP Amendment #1 will make the following modifications:

• Add a new project (5.16) funded through the FTA 5307 program
  • Short Range Transportation Planning: Johnson County Transit Strategic Plan – Lead Agency: Johnson County Transit
• Add a new project to the Related Activities appendix (F.6) funded through the MoDOT Traffic Engineering Assistance Program (TEAP)
  • Harry S Truman & Food Lane/Byars Road intersection and Corrington Avenue & 132nd Street intersection Traffic Study – Lead Agency: City of Grandview, Missouri
• Revise Appendix D as necessary to account for the inclusion of these projects.
