“Public transportation is the lifeblood of our community,” said Frank White III, CEO of KCATA. “In times of celebration and in times of challenge, RideKC connects people to opportunities, like jobs, education, health care, housing, and yes, Super Bowl Parades.”
The successful shuttle service was made possible by regional RideKC operators and by contracting with local school bus companies. Approximately 130 public transit buses and 300 school buses were deployed.

“Special event transportation is often the first introduction to public transportation in a city like Kansas City,” said White. “RideKC drivers and staff thrive on these opportunities to put our best foot forward. When special event customers have a champion experience, they will come back for more."
