The Mesa City Council unanimously approved funding for bus transportation, paratransit and RideChoice services during its Jan. 26 meeting, authorizing the city manager to enter into a seven-year agreement with the Regional Public Transportation Authority.
The estimated cost of transit services for fiscal year 2025–26 is just under $39 million.
Almost $34 million will be funded through public transportation funds from Propositions 400 and 479, while about $5 million will come from the city’s general fund.
