Special Public Hearing of City Commission on Community Shuttle Bus Service

On Monday, August 27, at 6:30 pm, the City Commission will hold a Special Public Hearing Meeting on the following Resolution:


RESOLUTION NO. 12R-08-170:   APPROVING THE MODIFICATION TO THE LAUDERHILL COMMUNITY SHUTTLE BUS ROUTES 1 THROUGH 5 TO INCREASE ITS EXISTING 44-HOUR WEEKLY SERVICE TO 60-HOUR WEEKLY SERVICE; REMOVING THE FARE OF $.50 TO INSTEAD PROVIDE A “NO CHARGE” FARE FOR ALL ROUTES; ESTABLISHING ROUTES #6 AND #7 THAT WILL OPERATE WITHIN THE WEST KEN LARK, ST. GEORGE AND BROWARD ESTATE COMMUNITIES, PROVIDING THAT THE INCREASE OF SERVICE HOURS IS CONTINGENT UPON THE APPROVAL OF THE BROWARD COUNTY CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR CONTINUED COUNTY FUNDING.

If passed, and approved by Broward County, it means not only will the City of Lauderhill resume to the prior, more longer hour service, but that they will be eliminating the fare and add 2 more route going through the Southeast Area of Lauderhill.  The reason Lauderhill is able to accomplish this is that the city did a concerted effort to successfully seek out grants to restore and expand the Community Shuttle Bus System.
