US Secretary of Transportation visit KC Metro
In January, US. Representative Sharice Davids, Vice Chair of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, KDOT Secretary Julie Lorenz and KCK Mayor Garner welcomed U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg to the Kansas City metro.
The visit featured a multi-stop tour with
transportation on a Ride KC electric bus. Among other stops, Sec. Buttigieg and
group toured area projects, including the U.S. 69 segment that will be part of
the 69Express project, and hosted a news conference in front of the Rock Island
and Cesar Chavez bridges. This visit
highlighted infrastructure improvements to be funded by the recently passed
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, or Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, with
emphasis on safety and sustainability.
Since KC Scout is the bi-state ITS of
the metro, the team has participated in the discussion on this project
regarding KC Scout devices in the area. For more information about this project,
