Kansas City seeks to improve transportation with intercity rail and new arena plans.

The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority has applied for a grant to explore the possibility of an intercity rail system that would impact 15 counties in the area, extending from Topeka to Independence. The rail corridor would extend north to south from De Soto to Kansas City International Airport, providing better accessibility and environmental benefits by reducing energy consumption and emissions with less cars on the road.
