City engineering staff provided an update on the microtransit pilot program that offers on-demand shared rides within city limits with reduced fares. Randy Leader said the first three months (April–June) produced 1,675 rides and an average trip cost of about $11.33, with the city covering roughly $5 per trip and riders paying about $6.33. The program also recorded 106 wheelchair-accessible trips in the period.
Staff emphasized that it is still early to draw definitive conclusions and that they will continue to monitor rider patterns, repeat use and new-rider counts. Council members said they would watch metrics such as new‑rider counts and repeat-user patterns to assess long-term viability and equity of the subsidy.
