Starting today, #RideKC will provide a dedicated @kcstreetcar Link bus service for our #transit partners. This service will be available for ~2 weeks to support construction of the @kcriverfront Project. This temp. service will not impact RideKC routes. bit.ly/4h2pB6N

"VRUSA"? Gesundheit! 🤧Find out a VRUSA is, and why it's such a valuable tool for safe streets advocates. (Hint: nothing to sneeze at!) We’re honored to be a part of the team of Midwest nonprofits in the RE-AMP Network working on this project. bikewalkkc.org/blog/2025/01/…

What’s a VRUSA and what does it say about Kansas and Missouri?

A new report compares Kansas and Missouri with four other Midwestern states.

When we launched the #SafeRoutestoSchool program in 2012, the idea of teaching 50k kids to ride a bike and walk safely to and from school seemed out of reach. It’s community support - YOUR support - that has gotten us to this milestone. THANK YOU! youtu.be/cq8tLJxUBSk?feature…
