|
|
G19. Transportation Disadvantaged Population:
|
To have one regional fare collection system consistent across all operators will positively impact low-income, minority, older adults, disabled, persons living in zero-car households, and/or veterans by providing upgraded fare collection systems to ease use by these patrons and equipment for regional compatibility.
|
|
G20. Relevant Public Engagement:
|
A mobile payment pilot began in July 2017 and has been adopted by users on every transit route in the RideKC system. As of February 2018, at least 1% of boardings on every RideKC route use mobile payment. All regional fare products are supported, including reduced fares. Transaction fees are absorbed by KCATA. A free Day Pass is provided to every new user as part of the pilot.
|
|
G21. Planned Public Engagement:
|
Once onboard validators are funded, significant operator and customer education will need to take place. KCATA will take the lead to ensure information is shared through our usual channels.

G22. Sustainable Places Criteria:
|
Access to Healthy Foods---------------
Complete Street Design---Connected Street Network---Context Appropriate Streets-------
----------------
----------------
----------------
Transit-Ready Corridors-----
|
|
G22.1. Describe CSP relationship:
|
Access to Healthy Foods- Reduce barriers to edible landscapes and streetscapes.
Age in Place-Target areas with the greatest transportation choices, including on-demand services if necessary, or the widest range of housing options.
Complete Street Design-Integrate transit facilities into street design on transit routes; prioritize pedestrian improvements around transit stops. Apply complete street policies throughout a network and avoid one-size fits-all "complete streets" that generically accommodate every mode but work well for none.
Transit-Ready Corridors-Integrate transit facilities into streetscape designs or as criteria for site design in areas with constrained rights-of-way.
Context Appropriate Streets- Build a menu of streetscape elements, including lane widths, parking, landscape/amenities , sidewalks, bike facilities, and access spacing.
|
|
G23. Implements Sustainable Places Initiatives?
|
Yes
Build on previous investments and areas of citywide impact. • Livable – Revitalize neighborhoods and provide needed services and amenities. • Connected – Improve connections and improve transportation options. Thriving – Support enhanced areas of employment and create thriving business districts. • Sustainable – Create a sustainable community
|
|
G24. Serves Regional Activity Center?
|
Yes
High-Intensity and More_Walkable Centers
|
|
G25. Environmental justice tracts?
|
Yes
Yes, most present transit services are focused in and around EJ tracts, and this project will provide a benefit to riders and residents coming to or from EJ areas. In addition, off-board fare payment will speed boarding and reduce dwell times for all passengers.
|
|
G26. Reduces greenhouse gas emissions?
|
Yes
Yes, increased transit use reduces auto-dependency and emissions. Converting the fare collection system to barcode validation reduces the need for printed fare media.
|
|
G27. Natural Resource information:
|
Improving transit and transit oriented development helps preserve and protect sensitive lands from development.
|
|
G28. Community Links at Watershaed Scale:
|
The transit system in Kansas City is regional in nature and transects multiple
watersheds. Improving transit and transit oriented development helps preserve and protect sensitive lands from development. Decreasing the need for impervious surfaces reduces storm water runoff and improves water quality.
