What this means
The commission heard that the transit budget was mostly unchanged, but staff is pursuing a $500,000 grant. Members also discussed what it would take to end fare-free service, including new fare boxes, electronic payment equipment, and a possible one-year rollout. Staff said reinstating fares could affect ridership and might also affect federal funding, but the size of that impact is unclear. The meeting also covered July ridership, driver hiring, and an update that MU routes started running on August 1.
