Kansas City Fountain Card: Your gateway to city services, transit, and exclusive discounts.

The City of Kansas City, Missouri Expands Fountain Card Benefits Through New Working Advantage Partnership

The Kansas City Fountain Card is more than just a municipal ID. It’s a free, all-in-one card that connects residents to essential city services, transit, and exclusive discounts. Designed to remove barriers, the card ensures that every Kansas City resident has access to opportunities and programs that enhance their quality of life.

What is the Kansas City Fountain Card?

The Fountain Card is a free municipal ID available to all Kansas City residents. It serves as a valid photo ID, especially for those who may not have state-issued identification. This makes it a vital resource for individuals experiencing homelessness, returning citizens, immigrants, and seniors.

The card provides access to a wide range of city services, including:

  • Parks & Recreation: Enjoy community centers and park facilities.
  • Transit: Use the KC Streetcar and RideKC buses, which are already zero-fare.
  • Utilities & Waste: Access water services, recycling, compost, and lawn waste drop-offs.
  • Health Services: Connect to programs offered by the Kansas City Health Department.
  • Banking: Use the card to open bank accounts.
  • Library Access: The card also functions as a library card.

Exclusive Discounts with Working Advantage

What sets the Fountain Card apart is its partnership with Working Advantage. This program offers cardholders discounts on shopping, travel, entertainment, and more. Residents can save on:

  • Movie tickets
  • Theme parks
  • Hotels and car rentals
  • Electronics and retail shopping
  • Fitness memberships

These benefits, often reserved for employees of large organizations, are now available to all Fountain Card holders.

Why the Fountain Card Matters

The Fountain Card is more than a convenience—it’s a tool for inclusion. It ensures that every resident, regardless of their circumstances, can access essential services and opportunities. With rising costs, the card also helps residents save money on everyday expenses.

Dr. Marvia Jones, Director of the Kansas City Health Department, emphasizes the card’s value: “The goal is to make this card not only a gateway to city services but a practical tool that helps residents stretch their dollars and enjoy everyday experiences.”

How to Get Your Fountain Card

Residents can obtain a free Fountain Card at the Kansas City Health Department, located at 2400 Troost Ave. Current cardholders can visit the Fountain Card team to activate their Working Advantage account and start accessing discounts. New cardholders can sign up onsite, with staff activating both the card and discount access immediately. An email address is required for activation.
