Taxpayers urged higher EZ Rider funding in Midland Odessa
The Midland Odessa Urban Transit District faces renewed calls to raise local contributions to EZ Rider. The two cities will spend 63,500 more, raising total local funding to 313,500 over five years. Proponents argue transportation is a community need and that fares could better cover costs. Critics say the system should raise revenue by improving fare collection and efficiency.
