KC Streetcar Wraps

KC Streetcar Wrap Eligibility

The KC Streetcar Authority partners with community organizations to “wrap” a streetcar. The KC Streetcar Vehicle Wrap Sponsorship Program serves as a partnership between the Kansas City Streetcar Authority (KCSA) and a Kansas City community asset such as an area sports team, landmark, or organization.

There are FOUR categories of eligible KC Streetcar wrap sponsors, which may be comprised of for-profit or non-profit organizations. KC Streetcar wraps are not open to corporate sponsorships at this time. Click here for a printable document or refer to the eligibility requirements below.

Below are descriptions of eligible sponsorship proposals.

• Promotion of significant Kansas City arts, landmarks, museums, sports, and entertainment.
  • Examples: KC Ballet; 18th & Vine District; Kansas City Chiefs.
• Events or organizational milestones that have significant cultural, community or economic impact.
  • Examples: The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum to support and honor the 100-year anniversary of the Negro Leagues; Worlds of Fun 50 Year Anniversary.
• Events and celebrations that have a proven history of attracting visitors to Kansas City and our streetcar alignment (tourism, local and out-of-town).
  • Examples: Annual Comic-Con convention; (but not a corporate convention); Big XII basketball tournament (but not a brand-named sponsor of the tournament); Boulevardia (not Boulevard Beer).
