County plan may cut busing costs for social agencies
Lorain County planners propose centralized purchasing and coordinated scheduling of small buses to halve transportation costs for social service agencies. The Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency and county transit board back the plan, which would cover mostly equipment start-ups with 87.5 percent state and federal funding and 65 percent operating costs. If approved, implementation could start within two months and be running in a year, though not creating mass transit due to high ongoing costs.
