Perrysburg Committee: Transit Funding to End

Local residents turned out to voice their concern and frustration Tuesday Nov. 27, 2012, that the city was unable to provide any form of public transportation until at least May, 2013, after the failure of the paratransit levy. The Perrysburg City Council decided not to finance public transit service without levy funding, causing the service to end Tuesday evening. CLICK ANY PHOTO TO ENLARGE, START SLIDESHOW
