Rossford voters won't get to decide Nov. 5 whether the city should remain a part of TARTA.
The Wood County Prosecutor's Office has issued an opinion to the county Board of Elections that because petitions calling for the city to withdraw were not certified in time, the resolution cannot be placed on the November ballot.
Left unsettled is whether, given a two-year timeline in state law that allows members to withdraw, it could appear on next year's ballot.
Rossford City Council voted in June to remain a member after years of complaints from residents and members of council over the regional transit system's poor service and cost to the city.
In the end a majority of council decided public transportation is needed, and the city was too small to provide it.
