KANSAS CITY- KC Scout, a bi-state initiative between Kansas and Missouri Departments of Transportation to provide travel and traffic information and service for the Kansas City metro area, suffered a cyberattack on April 25.
After more than a week of successful testing, motorists in Kansas City are seeing real-time messages on the highway digital signs. Returning real-time information is considered the first step in restoring all KC Scout systems and services.
Additional restoration efforts continue and include having the website operational and camera views available online.
The Kansas and Missouri DOTs remind motorists that emergency services are still available in Kansas and Missouri. Kansas Highway Patrol Motorist Assist Vehicle (MAV) continue to proactively run routes and respond to incidents in their jurisdiction.
MoDOT Emergency Response Continue to proactively run routes and respond to incidents in their jurisdiction. Immediate and critical traffic information impacting the KC metro area is being shared through modot.org in Missouri and KanDrive.gov in Kansas.
