farebox revenues, state and federal grants and,
since 1995, a .33-mill property tax levy. Costs of
vehicles, fuel, wages health coverage and liability
insurance have continued to rise. Revenue has not
kept pace. state and federal revenue has been
proportionately diminishing.

funds will be used up in 30 days. The system will
be shut down.
