Our work
Creating a region of opportunity
for everyone
Our work is organized into separate but interrelated focus areas. Each plays an important role in achieving our vision — a region of opportunity that supports its people, places and communities.
What we do
Fostering collaboration
To build a region we're proud to call home
Some issues reach across the boundaries of individual communities. Often, they can only be addressed by working together. MARC creates a space for the Kansas City region to come together to find and implement solutions that create a community people are proud to call home.
What we're working on
MARC brings together stakeholders from across the region to address the most important issues facing Greater Kansas City. Here's what we've been working on lately.
Smart Moves KC
A draft of Smart Moves KC, the region’s long-range transit plan, is available for public review. Take the survey or attend an open house to learn more about the proposed transit network, funding options and benefits of transit, and share feedback with MARC staff.
ReLoop KC: A Regional Plan for Material Recovery
The MARC Solid Waste Management District created this recovery plan that proposes a new paradigm for resource recovery to increase regional resilience by prioritizing the collection, sorting, and circulation of materials for optimal value.
Child Care Works
Many employers struggle to attract and retain workers due to a shortage of affordable child care. The child care exchange program expands access to high-quality, affordable care through cost-sharing for working families.
