IRIS Cost Share Fee Implementation

Beginning August 1, 2025, a $3 cost share fee will apply to IRIS rides that start and end within Gladstone city limits. This change is due to increased fees from the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority and aims to help sustain the service amid rising costs. Trips to other service zones will continue under the current IRIS pricing.
