Mark your calendars, ThinkTransit will be coming to KC March 16-19, 2025!
Kansas City is a pretty amazing city. It’s not often you have a city name divided across two states (Kansas and Missouri, which people call KCK and KCMo). And that’s not all that makes Kansas City amazing.
You’ve got championship football and baseball teams. The only purpose-built women’s soccer stadium in North America. Kansas City is one of the host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. And they are known as the “City of Fountains” with 48 fountains around the city.
Of course we can’t forget the famous Kansas City BBQ.
And if that isn’t enough, you can check out Kansas City on both Transit Unplugged TV and the podcast!
Visit KC Virtually!
In the TV episode, beyond the food, culture, and conversation with baseball great Frank White, Jr, you get an insider’s view of how KCATA (Kansas City Area Transportation Authority) and KC Streetcar work together to support transit oriented development and an interwoven transit system. On the podcast you get even more detail on both transit systems—like the streetcar expansion and the KCMAX Bus Rapid Transit line.
Want more? Here’s a playlist with the head of KCATA Frank White, III and the head of KC Streetcar Tom Gerend appearing on the Transit Unplugged podcast:
A lot to see and do in the City of Fountains
There is a lot do in KC, riding the Streetcar, checking out the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, standing in awe inside Union Station, we know you’ll have fun once the day’s sessions are over and it’s time to experience the host city. The hotel is close to the Power and Light District with food and fun—all serviced by the streetcar!
