RideKC

This week, we are remembering all the hard work and good times that lead up to Prospect MAX. Here are some memories from the groundbreaking at East Village Transit Center in Oct. 2018. It was such a big party that even Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Administrator K. Jane Williams joined us! #HappyBirthdayProspectMAX #FridayFeeling

UPDATE: RideKC's 9 9th Street route will continue service and will NOT be suspended on Monday, Dec. 14. You can find the current route schedule at https://ridekc.org/routes/9_9th_street

The sun may be shining today, but snow is in the forecast in the days ahead. Sign up now for RideKC Notify so you will know when winter weather, detours or schedule changes affect your RideKC routes. https://ridekc.org/rider-guide/ridekc-notify Just ride one or two routes? You can get alerts for just those routes!

UPDATED: Next week, RideKC will temporarily roll back transit service on routes 15, 55, and 233. This is due to the increasing community spread of COVID-19 and its impact on the RideKC operator workforce. https://ridekc.org/bulletins/dec-14-covid-impact Use RideKC for essential travel only, such as rides for groceries; trips for physical and mental health needs such as appointments and to pick up prescriptions; and trips for essential jobs including hospital/medical, grocery/food service, and essential production.
