During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Marshall County Public Transportation Program operated by the Council on Aging provided 6,854 trips totaling 48,537 miles.
The service did deny 53 in-county trips and 107 out-of-county trips.
Janis Holiday, Executive Director of the Marshall County Council on Aging, told the Marshall County Commissioners that they were one of seven counties in Indiana that provide transportation services and have reached trip counts higher than before COVID.
Holiday presented the fourth quarter claim to INDOT that needed to be approved by the County Commissioners before submission. The invoice showed a fourth quarter expense of $139,807 and revenues of $13,709 leaving a net expense of $126,098. Holiday said half of the net expense would be paid for by the FDA and the State of Indiana would pay $11,647 leaving the county’s local match at $51,402 which Holiday has in her budget.
Holiday also gave the 2024 stats which showed a total of 29,156 trips, which averaged out to 115 daily for the days of operation. The report also listed 224 in-county trip denials and 441 out-of-county trip denials. The total number of miles traveled last year was 228,627.
Holiday told the commissioners they had their compliance review and there were zero findings. She went on to say that the compliance reviews happen every four years and this is the first time they have had zero findings. Holiday was very happy with the review and thanked Commissioner Stan Klotz for participating. She also encouraged the commissioners to stop by the office and see their operations and even take a ride in one of their vehicles to get a better understanding of the service provided.
