Join the Kansas City Region's Community Transportation Academy!

Published on April 11, 2025

In Fall 2024, BikeWalk KC offered its first Community Transportation Academy (CTA) open to metro residents of Clay, Jackson, Johnson, Platte, and Wyandotte counties. For the initial program, there were 41 applications for 15 openings. BikeWalk KC is happy to announce that they will be offering a second cohort of the CTA this fall!

Over the course of ten weeks, participants will:

• Learn how the bi-state Greater Kansas City transportation system is planned, designed, funded, and built (and who is responsible for what!)
• Understand how transportation insecurity impacts access to jobs, training, health care, groceries, and other essential services
• Gain a deeper awareness about how transportation relates to equity, health, housing, climate protection, and more
• Explore the impact of systemic racism and historic redlining on today’s built environment and how they impact residents’ ability to move around the region
• Learn how “regular” folks can advocate for changes and improvements in your community
• Present a project idea for a needed improvement in their community
