Do you need a car to attend community college in Kansas?
In Kansas, 32% of community and technical colleges have a public transit stop within walking distance.
An additional 10% — or 8 campuses — are less than five miles from an existing transit line, but not yet connected.
CMI assessed the 82 campuses belonging to community and technical colleges in Kansas to determine proximity to public transit. Learn more about the methodology here.
Accessibility requires not only transit stops, but also schedules and routes that meet the needs of today’s college students. CMI’s map does not include frequency or route information.
Transit Stop Proximity to Community & Technical College Campuses in Kansas
Why is transit accessibility critical
for community college students?
Working students,
parenting students, and
students from low-income households are
overrepresented at community and technical colleges.
These students must manage “time poverty,” as they juggle family, work, and school commitments.
Statistics reflect national data from NCES and the College Board. Specific estimates for this state are not available.
