## Resource

The KC Streetcar is soaring to new heights, smashing passenger records in June with nearly 700,000 riders—mostly locals using the expanded 6.5-mile route for daily commutes, not just World Cup hype. This surge proves the streetcar’s growing role as a lifeline connecting neighborhoods and businesses, far outpacing last year’s 162,000 riders. With plans for even bigger expansions—including a potential east-west line and an airport stop—the streetcar is fast becoming the city’s most vital transit asset.
