Lyon County to end fixed-route transit, shift to on-demand service July 1
Summary
Commissioners voted 3-0 to eliminate Lyon County Area Transportation's deviated-fixed route and operate on-demand-only service beginning July 1, 2025, citing low ridership, lack of shelters, and cost savings.
The Lyon County Commission voted May 1 to end its deviated-fixed transit route and transition Lyon County Area Transportation (LCAT) to an on-demand-only service starting July 1, 2025.
LCAT Director Shane Brunner and Mobility Manager Misty Norton presented the proposal, citing low ridership, the absence of shelters at stops and potential cost savings. Commissioners approved the change by motion (Bartel/Duft 3-0). Brunner and Norton told the board that eliminating the fixed route "will have no impact on the on-demand services that LCAT provides." The decision will change how public transportation is scheduled and delivered in Lyon County beginning next month.
Commissioners did not record additional implementation details in the meeting minutes; staff and LCAT leadership will be responsible for finalizing operational details and notifying riders about service changes and the July 1 start date.
