Mayor Herd told the council that Mid Mon Valley Transit Authority (MMVTA) on-time performance for 2025 was 94 percent and said PennDOT indicated MMVTA funding would increase but that local match requirements are expected to rise for 2027. "Should we keep bus service in Speers?" he asked the council during the report.

He also reported the Police Department received a $498,000 grant "to be used for 6 new police vehicles" and noted the department has one opening for a new hire.
