Summary
A transit representative told the council the Marion County Transit Authority provided over 20,000 community rides and more than 15,000 paratransit trips in 2025, citing dialysis and other medical trips and estimating local savings tied to service.
Lisa, who said she has started working more officially with the Marion County Transit Authority, updated the council April 14 on 2025 ridership and service.
She told the council the transit system provided more than 20,000 community rides in 2025 and over 15,000 paratransit trips, including dialysis and opioid-response trips. She added that veterans ride free and that Fairmont State students and staff use the service.
