Brazos County commissioners unanimously approve its first subsidy to the Brazos Transit District (BTD). Click HERE to read and download the contract that was approved at the January 7, 2025 Brazos County commission meeting. The $316,667 dollar payment, which is also being made by the cities of Bryan and College Station, is to make up for the loss of federal funding to maintain the current level of BTD service. While the vote was unanimous, new commissioner Fred Brown said he’s been “ragging on these people for the last four years”, adding ” When I see these big ol’ buses running all over College Station with one or two people, I can’t get excited about it” (the BTD). After Brown was told there are times when there are more passengers, Brown said “If you ever see a full load, let me know. I’d like to take a picture.” The contract requires the transit district to give ridership reports twice per year. That was something of interest to another new commissioner, Bentley Nettles, who said “I think that would be important to know what we’re paying for.” Click below to hear comments from the January 7, 2025 Brazos County commission meeting: Listen to “Brazos County commissioners approve the first subsidy to the Brazos Transit District following criticism of buses carrying few passengers” on Spreaker.
