Council hears McKinney Urban Transit District update; CARES Act funding set to expire in coming years
Summary
A council member reported that the McKinney Urban Transit District program—initially funded with CARES Act dollars—will need restructuring once that funding runs out in roughly three to four years; staff were asked to obtain updated ridership heat maps from transit planners and DART.
A council member briefed the Prosper Town Council on a recent McKinney Urban Transit District meeting, saying the transit program was originally funded with CARES Act money and that those funds will run out in approximately three to four years, requiring a program restructuring.
The council member said the district's participation has grown and asked transit planners and DART to prepare refreshed ridership and travel-heat maps showing how Prosper residents use the service, information the council said it needs to assess options when CARES Act funding ends.
