Streetcar Tracker

Use the Streetcar tracker below to find out where the streetcar is at any time.  Click on the stop location to find real-time arrival info.

 

The KC Streetcar tracker by Smart City Media (City Post) is also available for iPhones and Android phones.

 


Streetcars operate 7 days a week, roughly with 10-15 minute headways. However, with heavy traffic and increased ridership, the wait times may be slightly longer.   Both the KC Streetcar team, including the RideKC team members with the KCATA, and the Kansas City tech community have been working behind the scenes to bring streetcar location information not just to the streetcar stops but to your desktops and smart phones as well.   So in addition to the digital display boards at the streetcar stops, which let passengers know when the next streetcar will arrive, you can now track the streetcar’s location when behind your computer or on your phone.
