Public transportation is not available in many areas of our city.

Philip Rhoads-Stecker

I was an Uber/Lyft driver for 2 years before the pandemic here in KC. It was a lot of fun and provided a meaningful service for people of all income levels. But the lockdown ended my driving, and I think the reduced air travel and reduced large events has reduced the riders.

i think with autonomous cars in the near future, smaller parking lots and structures and community shared vehicles can go a long way to helping with density of living space construction. I think this has to be in conjunction with public transportation and building along main transportion roads.

I was carless for 4 months a couple of years ago. I relied on Uber, rides from friends, and walking to get where I needed to go. I chose my house on a bus line, BUT there were only 2 buses toward downtown in the am and 2 buses back to OP in the pm. Hard to get anywhere in between.

Public transportation in Johnson County means RideKC. While RideKC can get select people to select workplaces that operate on a traditional work schedule. Getting to places to get groceries, prescription drugs, or other house needs, is even more difficult

I WISH I could get around using public transportation. I spent a summer in SF and I miss BART so much. My parents were shocked moving here from Lincoln NE at how nonexistent public transportation is in JoCo. Free + reliable public transport would be so beneficial here

The Metropolitan Council outlines 10 units per acre within a 10 min walk for High Frequency Bus Networks, with a goal of 15-60+ units per acre. KC does not encourage this density and therefore the ridership to support buses. https://metrocouncil.org/Handbook/Files/Resources/Fact-Sheet/LAND-USE/Dens

This is a more sustainable option and I like the freedom public transportation provides. It will require investment

Stephanie M.Iser

more reliable; more scheduling options.

I live by several great bus route locations so public transit works for me to get to work.

Defund all welfare programs. Make people responsible for their own actions.

Max

SNAP is primarily funded by the U.S. federal government through congressional appropriations, with the USDA providing the funds, and states administering the program and covering their share of administrative costs.

Trump won this. SCOTUS ruled in favor of Trump.

Trump basically has no say in this, it's on the shoulders of Congress. Might want to study what all the 111th Congress did back in 2009-11... this is all about payback.

Zaos Gonzolez

Spend the money on something else. Send missiles to israel instead.

Toasty

Its all a game both sides are playing with real people in the middle. Trump should step aside and tell congress this mess is all theirs.

Max

Schumer knows this is all on the backs of the democrats.

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Steven Miles

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!

Tom Pummer

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
