Preparing your city for an event that is viewed all around the globe is no easy feat, but KC Scout handles the pressure with ease. With the FIFA World Cup fast approaching Kansas City, our top priorities remain clear: keeping travelers safe and traffic flowing smoothly across the KC Metro. With hundreds of thousands of tourists flooding into our city traffic snarls are inevitable, but it is our job to minimize the damage as much as possible. With that goal in mind, Scout is creating Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs) for its four major functional areas to anticipate and respond to a range of situations that could likely occur to disrupt the tight schedules of getting teams, coaches and fans to the Stadium for their scheduled matches.

KC Scout is made up of a skilled group of experts all working towards one goal: reducing traffic jams by improving rush-hour speeds, increasing safety, decreasing incidents, and responding to traffic situations. A key part of this group are the traffic management center operators - the eyes and ears of KC Scout. KC Scout strives to invest in its team to ensure they employ the best of the best. So how are these operators trained? In addition to the wide variety of experience they bring to KC Scout, the team is also provided with additional training from an expert - Training and Innovations Coordinator, Mary Bundridge. Bundridge got her start in traffic management at KC Scout as an operator herself. Over the years, she worked her way up and gained a wealth of supervisor and project management experience. She now shares her knowledge with multiple traffic management centers by hosting workshops and various trainings. "Even though I now support several TMCs, I have to admit, I have a ...
