ADRC committee: Northwoods Transit ridership up; order placed for two new buses
Summary
Committee hears ridership gains and approves purchase order submitted July 31, 2026 for two buses costing $266,000 (80% grant, 20% savings); buses expected in 7–9 months. Staffing and fuel-cost pressures were also reported.
The Oneida County Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) Committee was told Aug. 24 that Northwoods Transit ridership has increased since June and is higher than at the same time last year. Barb Newman reported that on July 31, 2026 a purchase order was submitted to acquire two new buses at a combined cost of $266,000; funding for the purchase is 80% grant-funded and 20% from the Northwoods savings account, and delivery is expected in 7–9 months.
Newman said the system has filled a driver position but still has an open dispatcher position, and committee members noted fuel costs have risen significantly since January. The committee did not take further formal action on the transit item but recorded the operational updates for Northwoods Transit and the purchase order status.
