(AP) — Kansas City is sending city employees to Spain on a fact-finding mission for its streetcar system.

Sherri McIntyre, public works director for Kansas City, said the trip is needed because the company selected for Kansas City’s streetcars has its engineering headquarters in Spain. McIntyre and two other city engineers will be making the trip in February along with a consultant who has advised the city on the streetcar procurement.

The trip, which involves four days in Spain, is estimated to cost $2,600 per person. The money is coming from the city’s streetcar fund.

McIntyre says the trip will allow for in-depth conversations about the vehicle’s design and provide information on ways to customize the vehicles to Kansas City’s demands.
