Transit Authority of River City will hold a series of public hearings on proposed route cuts and reductions in an effort to make up a $2 million budget shortfall. The shortfall is due to high unemployment in the Louisville area and a decline in local occupational taxes, which accounts for about 60 percent of its budget.
TARC is proposing that 10 routes be eliminated and 22 to be reduced. The proposed changes can be found here: http://www.ridetarc.org/EditorUpload/file/Chart%20-%20Proposed%20Adjustments.pdf. The proposed changes are expected to take effect Feb. 21.
The public hearings will be held:
• Tuesday, Dec. 8, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., TARC Union Station, 1000 W. Broadway.
• Wednesday, Dec. 9, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., New Albany-Floyd County Public Library, 180 W. Spring St., New Albany; and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Fern Creek High School, 9115 Fern Creek Road.
• Thursday, Dec. 10, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., St. Matthews City Hall, 3940 Grandview Ave.; and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Iroquois High Magnet Career Academy, 4615 Taylor Blvd.
Comments about the proposal also can be made by calling (502) 561-5112 or by sending an e-mail to info@ridetarc.org.
