How much did Kansas City Scout cost, and whos paying for it?
The project’s cost was $43 million. Of that amount, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) contributed 80-90 percent of the project cost. KDOT and MoDOT shared the remaining cost. At $43 million for an initial 75-mile project, Scout’s deployment costs average $573 thousand per mile. That compares to a conservative $3-$6 million cost per mile for a single, new lane of roadway.
