Milwaukee County allocates $19M for transit amid upcoming committee meeting
The Milwaukee County Committee on Transportation and Transit convened on July 9, 2025, to discuss key issues affecting local transit services. The meeting highlighted significant financial allocations and upcoming changes to bus schedules.

During the session, it was noted that over $19 million was allocated for administration in 2024, with inflation adjustments suggesting the figure exceeds $20 million. However, concerns were raised regarding the lack of detailed breakdowns on how these funds were spent.

A reference was made to a board meeting involving Milwaukee transport services, where County Chair Marcela Nicholson is a member. It was suggested that she could provide insights into discussions held during that meeting.

The committee also addressed the timing of upcoming changes to bus services. The next transit committee meeting is scheduled for September, and it was emphasized that any modifications to bus schedules would need to be finalized before the operators transition to their fall schedule, which begins on the last Sunday of August.

County supervisors were encouraged to reach out for further discussions on these matters, ensuring that all concerns are addressed before the implementation of any changes. The meeting concluded with an acknowledgment of the importance of communication among committee members and the public regarding transit developments.
