United Community Transit Coalition (UCTC)
On September 29, 2022 nineteen transit, social service, and government staff from Butler, Harvey, and Sedgwick Counties participated in the Kansas Tri-County Transit Workshop, facilitated by Amy Conrick, Director of the National Center for Mobility Management. Attendees spent the day diving into the focus question:
​
How might we increase collaboration among transportation agencies in Sedgwick, Harvey, and Butler Counties in order to improve transportation for residents in those counties?
​
By the end of the day the participants had determined: 1) a goal for public transit within the region, 2) challenge questions to meeting said goal, and 3) a means to the goal.
​
The resulting goal was simply to increase the reach of transportation systems in the region by creating a coalition to form a toolkit. Thus the United Community Transit Coalition, or UCTC, was born.​​
Following the completion of the Transit Marketing Toolkit in August 2024, the coalition was resolved. UCTC agendas and meeting summaries are available below.

The United Community Transit Coalition (UCTC) worked to increase collaboration between the public transit systems in various jurisdictions within the Tri-County area. A diverse, multi-jurisdictional group of transit professionals and community members, UCTC endeavored to provide a more seamless transportation experience for the region.
​​
Through collaboration, various stakeholders worked together with a shared vision of providing smart, inclusive, and interconnected transit. UCTC members saw a future where everyone enjoys reliable transit options that transcend barriers, reduce congestion, provide safety, and preserve our environment. By fostering partnerships and pursuing innovation, the UCTC toolkit is paving the way for an interconnected region that enhances the well-being of our communities.
