🎉 One year ago, KC moved forward. And we haven’t stopped since.

One year ago, the KC Streetcar Main Street Extension opened, adding 3.5 miles to the system and changing how Kansas City moves through the heart of our city.

Since then, we’ve opened another extension, welcomed the world to Kansas City for the FIFA World Cup, and celebrated more than 4 million passenger trips on the expanded system.

But the numbers only tell part of the story.

Behind every trip is a person getting to work, a student heading to class, a family heading home, a friend meeting up downtown, fans celebrating, or a visitor discovering what makes Kansas City special.

We’re connecting people and places. We’re bringing neighborhoods closer together. And we’re expanding opportunities for riders to do more than reach their destinations — we’re helping them discover new possibilities along the way.

One year in, we’re proud of how far we’ve come and even more excited about what lies ahead.

This is only the beginning. ❤️

KC Streetcar is excited to introduce a new opportunity for small businesses located within the Main Street Rail Transportation Development District (TDD) (those businesses that are either on the KC Streetcar route or within a 1/4 mile of the route) to get their brand in front of KC Streetcar riders, residents and visitors.

Introducing the Small Business KC Streetcar Stop Sponsorship Program— an affordable way to turn a KC Streetcar stop into a high-visibility advertising opportunity for your business.

This is a pilot program and will be tested out at two streetcar stops:

▪ Armour Northbound Stop at Armour and Main St
▪ Southmoreland Northbound at 43rd and Main St

Businesses can choose from discounted half-stop ($600/month) or quarter-stop ($300/month) advertising packages, with production and installation costs billed separately. Half- and quarter-stop sponsors share the advertising space with another participating business.

We’re back!

Full KC Streetcar service between the Riverfront and UMKC resumed early this morning following the successful completion of track slab reconstruction and testing of the areas on 5th Street in the City Market.

Thanks to the hard work and coordination of our team, crews and project partners, the work was completed ahead of schedule, allowing streetcars to return to normal operations earlier than anticipated.

We recognize the inconvenience service disruptions can cause and appreciate the community’s flexibility as we completed this important infrastructure work. Like all infrastructure, our system requires routine maintenance, and we’re committed to keeping it safe and reliable for Kansas Citians for years to come.

As we ease into fall and away from international soccer events, we are seeing a new norm in ridership. Even so, ridership remains high on the expanded 6.5 mile system.

September 2026 ridership is more than 200% higher than September 2025, which was the last full month of downtown only streetcar service (prior to opening the Main Street Extension south to UMKC).

Thank you to ALL of our riders for trusting us with your commutes.

More info on KC Streetcar ridership can be found on the KC Streetcar website.

‼️KC STREETCAR SERVICE ALERT‼️

Temporary Downtown KC Streetcar Service Adjustment Planned for Oct 12-16, 2026.

KC Streetcar will temporarily adjust DOWNTOWN ONLY service between the Riverfront and Union Station October 12–16, 2026, to accommodate planned track slab repairs in the City Market area as part of its’ capital maintenance program.

Work is scheduled to begin Sunday evening, October 11, following the early conclusion of full streetcar service at 10:00 p.m.

Beginning 5:00 a.m. Monday, October 12, “Streetcar Link” buses will replace streetcar service between the Riverfront and Union Station while crews complete track repairs on 5th Street between Delaware and Walnut streets.

During this time, streetcar service will continue as usual on the southern end of the route between Union Station and UMKC, with regular 10-minute frequency.

More details about the track work and temporarily adjustments can be found online at https://kcstreetcar.org/track-work/.

What Riders Need to Know -

Streetcar Link bus service will be fare-free and serve designated streetcar stops, except for the City Market stop at 5th & Walnut, which will be temporarily closed.

Riders traveling past Union Station (north or south) will need to transfer between the streetcar and Streetcar Link buses.

At the River Market stops near 3rd Street and Grand Boulevard, passengers will board buses from the curb rather than the existing streetcar platforms.

5th Street Traffic Changes -

Oct. 11, 10 p.m. – Oct. 12, 7 a.m.: 5th Street between Delaware Street and Walnut Street will be closed to all traffic.

Oct. 12–16, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m.: 5th Street between Delaware Street and Walnut Street will be reduced to one-way westbound traffic.

Oct. 12–16, 7 p.m. – 7 a.m.: 5th Street between Delaware Street and Walnut Street will be closed to all through traffic.

Thank you for your patience as we make continuous improvements to be the KC Streetcar system safe, reliable, and efficient.
