Bis-Man Transit plays a vital role in our region by providing accessible, affordable, and reliable transportation options to our residents. Public transit not only benefits individuals with limited mobility and those without access to private vehicles, but it also helps reduce traffic congestion and lower transportation costs. Investments in public transit foster economic growth, improve the quality of life in our communities, and creates a more equitable society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

However, despite the undeniable benefits of public transit, our system faces several challenges that threaten its sustainability and functionality. In recent years, funding for public transit has been inadequate, resulting in service cuts and reduced service hours offered to our riders. This has negatively impacted our ability to serve our growing population, particularly those who depend on public transportation as their primary means of travel. The Bis-Man Transit Board is pursuing additional local support through increased sales tax; however, if approved, the system would likely not see these funds until 2025 or 2026. Without additional financial support, Bis-Man Transit will be forced out of business, as the expense to provide the current level of service significantly exceeds our revenues.

Donations are being accepted to ensure that our communities continue to thrive, and that we are able to meet the transportation needs of all residents.
