CITY LINK: Expand service west of Spokane Street

| March 21, 2025 1:00 AM

Federal funding for public transportation in urban areas is based on a statutory formula set in law to support transit. Kootenai County was allocated $2,870,350 USD last year. Post Falls alone contributed $41,000 USD. Over 100,000 people ride the bus annually. I demand Citylink to explain why half of Post Falls has no routes west of Spokane Street to the Washington border. Many people rely on public transportation: veterans, medical, legal and employment purposes. If reported, Kootenai County could lose all its Federal funding. It blows my mind that in the year 2025 we still have people making tunnel vision, closed minded decisions. Simpletons!
