Marion proposes 26 000 subsidy for Cedar Rapids bus costs
The Marion City Council offered 26 000 next year to cover Cedar Rapids share of operating the bus system, up from 24 000 this year but below Cedar Rapids 28 000 request. Marion budgeted 28 000 for transit, with funds also needed for bus shelters. LIFTS funding may be considered, though officials say operation could continue without city support. Asaro said Marion wants and needs Cedar Rapids service and hopes for acceptance of the compromise.
