The Alma City Commission approved a one‑year renewal of the transportation services contract between Alma Transit and Gratiot Integrated Health Network and authorized Transit Director Brett Oblitz to execute the contract.

The speaker said that in the first full year under the new arrangement the program provided about 10,338 rides and billed $22,158.05 for those trips, and that continuing the per‑ride model is the basis of the new contract. Commissioners supported the motion and it passed by voice vote.
