Metcalf & Shawnee Mission Parkway Bus Corridor

This project includes the design and construction of multiple bus stops, three park and ride locations, a transit center in downtown Mission, traffic signal priority system, and pedestrian access improvements.

A Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Grant will finance transit investments along Metcalf Avenue and Shawnee Mission Parkway.
