Kansas City's transit agency proposes a modest budget increase amid funding concerns post-pandemic.

Kansas City's transit agency, KCATA, is facing budget constraints for 2025, proposing a $134 million budget, up $3.7 million from current spending. With pandemic-related free rides ending due to depleting CARES Act funds, concerns over potential service cuts and job losses have been raised by community members and labor groups. The agency, largely funded by the city of Kansas City, is working on revenue projections and contract negotiations, with public input required for any service or employment changes.
