Muskegon city commissioners approve deal with cab company to restart senior transit program | MLive.com
"Wakefield offered to provide seniors with one-way rides for $3.50 in the same geographic areas that the city provided for $3 one-way rides.
The city program was eliminated Dec. 31 for budget cutting reasons after city voters failed to approve two ballot proposals Nov. 6 that would have kept the city senior transit program funded.
The city would pay Wakefield $40,000 for a one-year contract to provide the special cab fare for city senior citizens. Port City and Yellow cabs provide service 365 days a year and 24 hours a day where the city program had limited days and hours of operation.
Muskegon used a similar public-private partnership to restore youth recreation programs when the city’s Leisure Services Department was eliminated several years ago as a budget cut."
