The report is the first in a series produced for the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) by the Volpe Center. The purpose of the planning review is to allow the FTA and FHWA to determine how successfully the Urban Transportation Planning Process (UTPP) addresses regional transportation needs, and whether the process meets the requirements of the joint planning regulations. Another purpose is to assess the ability of the existing planning process to address the broader responsibilities that are being added to the process under the Clean Air Act and the reauthorization legislation, pending at the time of the review. Basically, the transportation plan for the Kansas City metropolitan region consists of both short-range and long-range elements. The long range element identifies transportation improvements needed to accommodate estimated travel demand to the year 2010. The short-range element identifies transportation system management (TSM) improvements, including HOV lanes and expanded ridesharing services. The report presents the planning review findings to update the transportation plan and suggestions for improving the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) process.
