Public Hearing for MTS Service Adjustments
|
en español
Due to lower sales tax revenue, increases in fuel costs, and reduced subsidies from the State, MTS projects an
operating deficit of more than $6 million in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2008. To balance the budget, MTS
proposes to reduce staff, restructure trolley fares, enhance non-fare revenue and adjust bus services.
Many of the service adjustments require the consideration and approval of the MTS Board of Directors after a
public hearing. Your options for providing input in the public hearing process are:
