Ohio House Speaker Robert Cupp was in Lima on Monday at the Allen County Regional Transit Authority.
ACRTA officials gave Speaker Cupp, as well as his office representatives and a representative from Downtown Lima Incorporation, a tour of their facilities and the most recent upgrades implemented. Preceding the tour, ACRTA held an initial meeting with Speaker Cupp inside the East High Street building to discuss the importance of possessing sufficient funds to fulfill the organization's mission of providing affordable, reliable transportation for the Lima community.
"We operate on around a five million dollar per year budget. A lot of [our budget] is grant driven through FDA or ODOT. We also have our local sales tax that came in approximately a little over two years ago now. So, we combine all them to make the best service we can," says Brian Wildermuth, Co-Executive Director & Operations Director, ACRTA.
