The Star reports that the KCATA is increasing bus service on the North Oak and I-29 routes in response to construction-related congestion over the Paseo Bridge. Northland commuters will see bigger buses and more frequent service.

MoDOT is contributing $200,000 for the service expansion, but that amount pales in comparison to the $3 million MoDOT recently gave to St. Louis to enhance transit service during a major highway project.

Meanwhile, today is National Dump the Pump Day, which encourages people to leave the car at home and try public transit for one day.  The KCATA will have a special event at the 10th and Main Transit Center from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., including drawings for bus passes.
