Common card · No. 380659

The KC Streetcar is a one-route streetcar system in Kansas City, Missouri. Initial construction began in May 2014, and service began on May 6, 2016. The KC Streetcar is part of the Kansas City metropolitan area's integrated public transit brand RideKC, and is operated by the Kansas City Streetcar Authority. It is free to ride, as a transportation development district covers the cost of ongoing operations and maintenance. As of July 2026, the KC Streetcar has had over 20 million rides since its opening in 2016. The initial line was 2.2 miles (3.5 km) long, costing $102 million to build. In October 2025, the line was extended 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south to the University of Missouri–Kansas City (UMKC) at a cost of $350 million. In May 2026, the line was extended 0.7 miles (1.1 km) north to Berkley Riverfront Park at a cost of $62 million. In the RideKC system, the KC Streetcar is internally designated as route 601.
