City leaders map tactics to lift Lawrence bus ridership
Lawrence city leaders push route changes and townwide tweaks to boost bus use after August 2016 expansions. From 2016 to 2017 ridership rose about 14 percent though capacity remains to add hundreds of thousands of trips annually. Commissioner Matthew Herbert says improving route efficiency and managing growth are key to attracting more riders amid a nationwide transit downturn.

Kansas lawmakers near end of regular session
Kansas House opens debate on HB 2445 to phase in about 522 million dollars in school funding over five years aimed at meeting a Supreme Court order. Local districts like Lawrence, Eudora, and Baldwin City would gain millions, while 21 smaller districts face funding cuts. Atchison would lose about 248 thousand with modest special education gains. The session day also anticipates the March tax revenue report and Senate actions on school finance.
