Why does Transportation Outlook 2040 need to be financially constrained and how does MARC expect to meet that criterion?
The financially constrained criterion is required by the federal government. Forecasting available funds for transportation projects over a 20+ year time horizon is something all metropolitan planning organizations must do. MARC considers revenues from federal, state and local governments for the plan and develops these revenue forecasts cooperatively with KDOT, MoDOT and area public transportation providers. It is unlikely that our final forecast will provide the precise dollar amount that will materialize through 2040, but MARC is confident that our projections will produce the proper order of magnitude for planning purposes. No project that is included in Transportation Outlook 2040 will be tied directly to a specific funding source; the financially constrained criterion simply means that the cost of projects in the plan will be equal to or less than what MARC reasonably expects the region to receive in transportation funding. Projects that are not included in the fiscally constrain
