PUBLIC NOTICE OF REDUCTION OF TRANSIT SERVICE TO NICHOLAS COUNTY
Effective June 30, 2022, MTA due to the rising fuel cost and other related cost, and with the direction from our Federal and State funding source, MTA will reduce bus service to the following areas of Nicholas County:
- Glade Creek, Persinger, Calvin, Craigsville, and Muddlety.
- Enon (RT. 39), Mt. Nebo, Summersville Lake, Monday and Friday only.
- MTA will continue to serve the Town of Summersville and the Town of Richwood.
MTA is required to have local funding for matching of the Federal Funds we receive for public transit, and over the past few years we have not received any from the Nicholas County Commission.
This is a very hard decision, but one must be made to keep MTA economically sound and to place our resources in areas that invest in public transit. This decision has not been taken lightly by MTA’s Board of Directors, management and staff, but one that is necessary to continue to operate MTA within our grant guidelines.
MTA will take comments until June 10, 2022, and will response in writing to any questions until June 17, 2022.
