Free shuttles will be operating from select park-and-rides lots across the Kansas City area. Buses will start operating at 9 a.m. with departure times varying based on the demand for each shuttle.
The parade starts at noon on Grand Boulevard between the Sprint Center and the Kansas City Power & Light District. The rally starts at 2 p.m. in front of Union Station where fans can watch the festivities from the north lawn of the National World War 1 Museum and Memorial.
Also Tuesday, bus routes serving the downtown area will be significantly disrupted during the parade and rally. Riders who depend on bus service to travel to downtown should review passenger bulletins at: http://ridekc.org/bulletins/parade-reroutes
All service into downtown will be diverted to Troost and will not serve the area west of the parade after 9 a.m. The reroutes require all express bus service to pick up at two central downtown locations – 12th & Troost and 27th & Main – during the afternoon rush hour.
