You bring the vote, we'll bring the wheels! This Election Day, November 3, RideKC is treating Kansas City to free fixed-route bus and paratransit rides, plus free IRIS and Freedom On-Demand trips to and from polling locations. We've got your ride covered!

 On Tuesday, April 22, 2025, the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA) and several Adopt-A-Stop partners will hit the streets to pick up litter at designated bus stops in honor of Earth Day. 

On Wednesday, March 12, 2025, the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority will host KCATA’s second State of the KCATA Community Report. It is the goal of the KCATA to share with stakeholders the vision for public transportation in the region and highlight successes and challenges. 

Training instructor DT has now been with KCATA nearly 30 years and still going strong. And he's been rocking and rolling all day long.

KCATA’s RideKC Adopt-A-Stop program has grown to 13 partners helping keep bus stops clean, starting with Ruby Jean’s Juicery.

KCATA is creating a rider video to highlight how RideKC impacts lives and invites riders to share their personal transit stories.

The Unified Government Transportation Department seeks rider input. Survey available in English and Spanish. 

RideKC routes will offer free fares all day on Nov. 6 to make it easier for citizens to vote. 

KCATA is seeking public input for the Connecting Swope Project to improve access, safety, and connections to the Prospect MAX line.

Four meetings are scheduled – two for Feb. 11 and the others for Feb. 18, 2016 – to collect input for service changes on these routes: 32-Linwood Link, 39-39th Street, 54-Armour/Paseo, and 173-Casino Cruiser. (See below for details.)
