Public Hearing Notice

City of Greenville 

The City of Greenville is applying to the Ohio Department of Transportation for an operating and capital assistance grant under 49 U.S.C. Section 5311 of the Federal Transit Laws, as codified, the Ohio Elderly & Disabled Transit Fare Assistance Program (E&D program) and the Ohio Public Transportation Grant Program. 

The operating grant will provide financial assistance for open door, public transportation service for the residents of the City of Greenville, including Family Health Service with limited service in Darke County during CY2012.   The city service would operate Monday through Friday 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m, and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.  Fares are $1.50 for elderly and disabled, $3.00 for the general public.  No notice is needed for city service.  Limited County service is available during the same hours with fares at the city rate, plus $1.00 per loaded mile if a driver is available, up to 5 miles.  These services are for all residents, including disabled users.  

Proposed changes would eliminate the Dayton/Miami County area daily route as well as the Dayton/Piqua Colleges and malls.  This would include Greyhound Bus terminal and Dayton Airport.  This would be effective October 1, 2011.   

The E&D grant will provide State funds to offset the half fares offered to elderly and disabled passengers. 

Copies of the detailed service description, proposed changes and project budget may be obtained at the Public Transportation Director’s office, 1425 KitchenAid Way, between 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. 

A public hearing will be held at an accessible location at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 6, 2011, in the Council Chambers in the Municipal Building, 100 Public Square, Greenville, Ohio 45331 during the regularly scheduled City Council Meeting.  Note, any request for reasonable accommodations must be received 48 hours in advance.
