What we need is permanent funding for buses across Jackson County. The good news is it’s not too late.
Jackson County legislature can put bus funding on the ballot in April before KC is forced to cut service. In order to do this though, the legislature must pass the ballot ordinance by 1/28

💪Our pressure led to an ordinance being introduced to fill KCATA’s $35 million funding gap with some of the money the county has. But we know we need long term solutions for transit funding. That’s why we want the county to put bus funding on the ballot.

With service cuts in multiple cities like Raytown, Blue Springs, Grandview and future cuts planned for Independence and Kansas City, county legislators are overseeing the largest collapse in public transit in Jackson County in the last 100 years.

We showed up to Jackson County Legislature’s Special Public Session last night to urge elected officials act to save the county’s bus system.
They have $70 million in federal COVID money that still needs to be allocated by the end of the year or else it will be lost.

Without additional funding, our buses are set to face major cuts to routes and services. We know that it’s possible—KCMO is scheduled to put to vote an increased sales tax in order to fund a new jail. Tell our legislators that we need Better Buses, not more jails!

We deserve Better Buses! Help us put pressure on Jackson County to create a permanent fund for transit. Currently, Jackson County has zero dedicated funding for transit. We want Jackson County legislators to commit to putting to vote a sales tax to fund our buses.

Wednesday, 60+ people attended our Mass Meeting. We shared our fears, anger, and anxiety.
But we have hope. We grounded ourselves in the power we have as young people to defy fascism and win climate, racial, and economic justice.
