An interdisciplinary team of students in the Fall semester 2023 Selected Projects in Law, Technology & Public Policy (LT&PP) course at UMKC prepared an initial report on considerations in plans to convert the City of Kansas City, Missouri’s fleet of various types of internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) and the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority’s fleet of buses to EVs or other alternative fuels. A Spring semester 2024 interdisciplinary student team in the LT&PP course is expanding that research and building on the Fall Team’s report and next steps recommendations.
