Architecture Scope
The scope of the Regional ITS Architecture can be described in terms of: 1) the size of the region and jurisdictions covered (geographic scope), 2) the planning or time horizon, and 3) the variety of transportation services that are covered. This scope is defined in the context of adjacent and overlapping Regional ITS Architectures.
Description
The Kansas City Area Regional ITS Architecture was created as a consensus view of what ITS projects have been implemented and what ITS projects will be implemented in the future. The architecture should be modified as plans and priorities change, ITS projects are implemented, and the ITS needs and services evolve in the area.
Time Frame
10 Years (2018-2028)
Geographic Scope
The area covered by the Kansas City Area Regional ITS Architecture is consistent with the transportation planning boundary of the Mid-America Regional Council, the metropolitan planning organization for the bistate Kansas City region. This boundary currently consists of the entirety of seven counties: Cass, Clay, Jackson and Platte counties in Missouri, and Johnson, Leavenworth, Miami, and Wyandotte counties in Kansas.
