The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority will receive $2,6 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation for a Light Rail Alternative Analysis, a cooperative effort by KCATA, the city of Kansas City, and the Mid-America Regional Council

Railway Age, June, 2008

The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority will receive $2,6 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation for a Light Rail Alternative Analysis, a cooperative effort by KCATA, the city of Kansas City, and the Mid-America Regional Council. Voters in November 2006 approved establishing light rail for the region despite a lack of support from elected officials, but the Kansas City (Mo.) city council subsequently rejected the voter-approved plan as unworkable.

Officials have sought an alternate plan since then.
