Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

Changes are resource-neutral, but displaced Route 15 riders may face doubled paratransit costs (VT 2 at $4 versus $2 fixed route).

✅Who benefits

Kaukauna residents gain long-requested grocery access; on-time performance improves on Routes 15 and 30.

⚠️Who could be affected

A small number of Route 15 riders near Petsmart/Home Depot, including at least one rider with a disability, lose nearby service.
