Providing free transit will cost the city about $8 million out of a city budget that totaled $1.7 billion in fiscal 2019.Īccording to KCUR’s report on the vote, the total cost of making KCATA-run buses free is $12 million. The resolution also calls on the city manager to report on the fiscal impact of funding free transit on existing city services. The move to make public transit free enjoyed the support of key officials and opinion leaders, including newly elected Mayor Quinton Lucas (who serves as the 13th member of the city council), Kansas City Area Transportation Authority CEO Robbie Makinen and the Kansas City Star editorial board.
