Mercer County hears rural-transportation update; service expected to start in July
Summary
Staff reported the county's rural-transportation service is being planned for a July start, with a coverage map in development and a proposed fleet of four 14-passenger buses and possibly eight vans; the county still needs space to house vehicles and an office. Details such as funding and facility arrangements were not specified in the minutes.
At the Feb. 4 meeting, a staff member identified as Morgan told the Mercer County Board that the rural-transportation program is expected to be ready to go in July. Morgan said planners are building a service map for the area the program will cover and expect to operate four 14-passenger buses and possibly eight vans.
Board members were told the program is still seeking a building to house vehicles and provide office space. The minutes do not specify funding sources, service routes, operating agency or a firm start date beyond the July target; those details will need to be resolved before the program begins.
