The city of Butler has taken the first step towards an agreement for Butler County to take over the Butler Transit Authority.
City Council approved a motion Thursday night to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the county and Butler Township.
The purpose of the memorandum is to set the terms and conditions of the city’s withdrawal in a process expected to take several months.
The Butler Transit Authority was formed in 1989 by an agreement between Butler City and Butler Township who have paid yearly into the budget that allows bus service in those communities.
