Topeka ? Topeka is seeking a $25 million grant to establish a transportation hub that would combine an airport shuttle, rail, bus, taxis and car rental services in a single location.

A group of Topeka officials recently asked members of the Kansas congressional delegation to support the Topeka Metropolitan Transit Authority’s efforts to acquire the federal grant. The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that the money would be used to establish the multimodal center at Forbes Field, an airport in the city.

Officials expect to learn this month or next month whether their grant application has been approved.

Topeka Metro board chairman Rodd Miller says the community would be required to chip in a $5 million match. That could come in the form of land and other assets instead of strictly cash.
