Engen budget proposal increases Missoula taxes 3.92 percent

Free bus rides on Mountain Line are near the top of Mayor John Engen’s budget priority list of items the city should fund in the future.

If additional money becomes available, Engen would like the city budget to contribute some $400,000 to transit, the amount needed to make rides free all the time on all routes starting in January 2015.

Engen announced the idea Wednesday in his 2015 budget proposal, and he said free fares have increased ridership an estimated 40 percent in other cities.
