As part of the FY 2014 budget adoption process, funding for the Community Connector
Odlin Road bus route was eliminated effective September 1, 2013. Since that decision,
public concern and Council interest has resulted in a desire to revisit the decision. The
estimated cost to continue the transit service for the remaining ten months of FY 2014 is
$20,000, or approximately $2,000 per month. To that end, the Council authorized a
fundraising effort to accept contributions for the continuation of the route. This donation
brings the total raised to date to $11,060.05.
