TARC executive director reveals goals, new projects for fiscal year

Carrie Butler laid out the transit system’s budget during a Metro Council committee hearing Monday.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — TARC’s new executive director has revealed her goals and projects for the next fiscal year.

Carrie Butler laid out the transit system’s budget during a Metro Council committee hearing Monday.

She would like to get new vehicles, continue renovations of the dispatch office, install solar panels and to get the bus bar a new heating and air system.

Butler was also asked about the disabled community’s complaints about delays and inconsistencies of the TARC 3 bus services.

“The biggest challenge is the number of drivers available for TARC 3 and fixed routes so I have said I can hire 100 people today, and we are actively engaged in a campaign,” she said. “I hope you’ve seen some of our billboards.”

Metro Council must give the budget proposal final approval.
