The Kansas City Streetcar Authority (KCSA) and the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA) announced they will study multimodal transit options for improved East-West connections.
On Sept. 30, the KCSA's board approved funding a multimodal transit study in an amount not to exceed $75,000. This is contingent on comparable contributions from additional project partners, with a total study cost of $250,000 to $300,000, according to a news release.
Early discussions are underway to build funding partnerships to support advancement of an East-West high capacity, public transit and streetcar study. Those efforts were initiated in part by a request from the University of Kansas Health System to look at opportunities for improved connections with KU Medical Center and regional medical complexes in Kansas City, Missouri.
The East-West study is expected to begin early next year and take a year to complete.
