The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority has some exciting news for our paratransit customers that use our RideKC Freedom On-Demand service throughout the region.  We are pleased to announce that we will be transitioning to a new reservations, scheduling and dispatch software platform for RideKC Freedom On-Demand. This change will include all customers that utilize Freedom On-Demand in Kansas City, MO, Unified Government/Wyandotte County, Johnson County, KS and Independence, MO. The transition will allow us to improve our customer service. The go-live date is July 30, 2024.
