Three-Tier Regional Transit Plan

5 July 2003 - 5:00am

A favorable review of the regional mass transit plan for the Kansas City area.

"With their SmartMoves transit plan, area officials have taken a positive first step toward turning our fragmented mass-transit network into a cohesive, regional system...The plan calls for three main types of service, using buses and a commuter rail line...It's time we began thinking in regional terms when it comes to transit."

I argue that the vocabulary of planning and the concepts necessary to participate in local government and planning issues need to be taught to students in K-12.
