TEN-MILE RADIUS FOR STUDY AIRPORTS

NEW CENTURY AIR CENTERGROUND ACCESS PLAN

The Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) is a nonprofit association of city and county governments and the federally designated metropolitan planning organization for the bistate Kansas City region. One of MARC’s main roles is to provide transportation planning services for the following counties— Johnson, Leavenworth, Miami and Wyandotte in Kansas; and Cass, Clay, Jackson and Platte in Missouri. MARC works with state departments of transportation, transit agencies, local governments, the private sector, aviation interests, and the region’s residents to plan coordinated transportation systems that move people and goods affordably, efficiently and safely.

The Greater Kansas City Regional Aviation System Plan, conducted

by MARC, examined the current performance for 13 general aviation airports in a nine-county area served by MARC. Having adequate ground access to the region’s airport system is important. Airports included in the System plan support business, medical, safety, and recreational needs. Airports included in the system plan are shown on the accompanying map, along with a ten mile radius “service area” for each airport. In reality, airports in the region draw their customers from varying distances, but the 10-mile areas help to demonstrate which areas of the system plan study area are in proximity to one or more of the general aviation airports. Generally, the areas of region with the highest concentrations of employment and population are well served by the current airport system.

PLANNED GROUND ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS

The accompanying maps show the service area, immediate ground access routes, and transportation improvement projects included in MARC’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and its Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). Improvements listed in the table are included in MARC’s TIP. For more detailed information on transportation improvements included in the LRTP, visit www.TO2040.org or contact MARC at 816.474.4240/Transportation@MARC.org.
