IRIS Transit Service Suspension
The IRIS on-demand transit service will be suspended effective May 1, 2025, after the Kansas City Council declined to extend program funding. IRIS, launched in 2023 as a cost-effective alternative to traditional transit, became unsustainable without regional financial support. Gladstone officials are exploring alternative solutions and acknowledge the disruption this may cause for residents.
