ADRC Explores Expanding Service Frequency to Meet Community Demand

The Dunn County Transit Committee convened on August 13, 2025, to discuss strategies for improving local transit services in response to low demand. The meeting focused on exploring options to enhance accessibility and efficiency within the transit system.

One of the primary topics addressed was the potential expansion of transit services from once a month to once a week in certain areas. A committee member highlighted a recent discussion with Bernie from the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) regarding this idea. The goal is to better serve the community without overwhelming the existing system.

Concerns were raised about the current capacity of the transit service, particularly the challenge of balancing demand with available resources. The committee emphasized the importance of maximizing service to assist as many residents as possible while avoiding situations where they have to decline service requests due to overloading.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to further explore these options and assess the feasibility of increasing service frequency. The committee aims to ensure that transit services are both effective and responsive to the needs of Dunn County residents. Further discussions and evaluations will be necessary to determine the next steps in this initiative.
