Despite the passage of a 0.8-mill transit levy on May 7, the committee is planning to continue its work in support of public transportation in the city.
"We've spent all this time establishing this network, so we're offering that to the city to get the word out about transit," said committee member Rachel Johnson.
The organization, formerly called Perrysburg-4-Transit, met Thursday to discuss its future involvement in the transportation process.
Among future action, Johnson said the committee is hoping to do an annual fundraiser to support the city's transit efforts.
The five-year levy, passed with nearly 72 percent of the vote, will raise about $460,000 annually, costing the owner of a $200,000 home around $4 per month. The new transit service, to be provided by St. Louis-based Ride Right LLC, is expected to include ADA paratransit, call-a-ride, and limited commuter options.
