So many of the historic, walkable parts of our city we cherish today were shaped by transit. Investing in transit and building with it in mind can help drive that kind of memorable, lovable development again — if we plan for it.

“Transit in Kansas City sucks.” It’s something many people in our city have heard. But here’s the reality: without being more intentional about the way we build our city, with transportation choice in mind, we’ll never be able to provide great transit to all corners of our city.

A stop on the historic Country Club streetcar line and the terminus of today's Main Street MAX line in the heart of Waldo is closer to welcoming 300+ new neighbors with the advancement of the Waldo74Broadway project. Learn more: flatlandkc.org/news-issues/de…

There are two ways to make transit accessible and convenient: -add service -give more people the opportunity to live where it already exists By bringing transit to growing neighborhoods, we can do both. Check out efforts to expand east-west options: downtownkc.org/2022/09/15/ima…

We support projects that create stability, opportunity, and value for neighborhoods and the transit system. Dig into the criteria we use to evaluate if a development adds value to our community.

We need think beyond just building new transit projects... The land use adjacent to & in proximity of transit must also change because if you can't walk there, it doesn't matter how much transit you build. Communities must be intentionally designed to encourage humans over cars.

Transit-oriented development builds walkable, connected places that make neighborhoods more livable by expanding access to daily destinations. It's the ideal way to build — for financial and environmental sustainability, quality of life, and connectivity.

When people have the option to move more easily by public transit, foot, bike, or wheelchair, it can help make life a little easier and more affordable. We're supporting 19 Transit-Oriented Development planning projects to do that & improve access to jobs, school & housing.

KC's transit-oriented development policy prioritizes the kind of development that is already highly valued. IN: connected, dense, diverse and designed OUT: isolated, sparse, homogeneous, uncoordinated Check out the policy document: kcmo.gov/city-hall/depa…

As Americans start to drive less after a generation of car-based growth, it's time for a new era of development that frees people from car dependence by prioritizing people.

Snow days like today are a reminder of how much car-dependent development makes us less productive and resilient as a region.
