Council approved Resolution 2026-56 authorizing a fare-free fixed-route transit-services agreement between the City of North Liberty and Black Diamond Limousine Inc. Special Projects Coordinator Angelina McConnell said staff are finalizing pickup and drop-off times and expect the system to average about 20 riders in the morning.
McConnell said staff streamlined stops to speed trips downtown, removed stops that historically had low ridership in Coralville, and added a hospital stop in North Liberty that will connect to an express route. Councilors praised the partnership with a local company; the resolution passed by unanimous roll-call vote (5–0). Staff will finalize schedules and continue outreach to current users.
