An updated plan for the redesign of transit service focused on Kansas City, Mo., is ready for your review. The new plan represents changes resulting from extensive public outreach that occurred in early 2020, as well as additional technical and financial analysis. The goal of the revised plan is to provide a simpler, easier and more efficient network that connects more people to opportunity. The proposed restructuring seeks to balance ridership and coverage considerations, while accurately reflecting the values of communities in Kansas City. This includes establishing a frequent grid in the core of the transit network, while also providing flexible services that cover larger areas and provide access to the system.
You will be able to review the plan materials on this page. Maps and hours of service on a route-by-route basis are posted below. Route-by-route summaries are posted online.
RideKC will be seeking feedback on the revised plan in multiple phases, leading up to implementation.
