    82% of our budget already comes from taxes, and the downside of that approach is that at any point legislators or taxpayers can decide they'd rather put the money somewhere elsehttps://twitter.com/FARTRON/status/968164442633580550 …

        Any time that we need taxpayer money to function--and even at my most optimistic, I assume PVTA will need *some* subsidy--that money will be subject to endless debates and prone to suddenly disappearing regardless of how many people we're serving...

        ...whereas any money that comes from the riders themselves--even if it's not 100% of the budget--is money that is OURS, won't be reallocated at a whim, and best of all, increases whenever ridership increases.

        PVTA--or any transit provider--only has as much control over its own future as it can earn from its own services. Right now our riders and our staff only have about 16% of a say in our own operation...we should be striving to boost that share as far as possible!

        so it's going from 82 to 81 and you think that means they could just as easily go to 0 100 is a lot closer

        My whole point is that *whatever* the share is will be a) outside of PVTA's control, b) subject to change, and c) come with requirements that may be contrary to providing good service

        i'm reading that you contract to a corporation based in ohio so you already don't have control

        Gotchu, I only deal with SATCo, VATCo, and UMTS, two of which are owned by FirstTransit (which is owned by FirstGroup, based in Aberdeen, UK)
