Dial-a-ride revenues beat expectations in Lorain County
Lorain County Transit reports January dial-a-ride revenue over $5,000, about 4 percent above forecast. Planner Bill Eltrich says ridership matches prior levels with four 21 passenger buses and vans carrying around 25 riders each daily, and a 19 percent return vs the expected 15 percent. The program, under a one year SBS Transit contract, aims to add seven 11 passenger vans next month to cut the $300,000 federal subsidy by about 1,200 percent annually through higher fares.
