Beeline Bus service adds a third bus

The number of riders on Beeline Bus routes has fallen off since the COVID-19 pandemic hit Rim Country about a year ago. But that didn’t stop the Payson Senior Center from adding a new bus to its fleet for expected future growth. An ADOT grant made the addition possible. Mike Marryat, director of operations for the senior center and for Beeline Bus service, said they expanded the fleet on Jan. 4 with the addition of a new 14-seat bus. That brings the number of buses in the fleet to three, although only two run at the same time. “They take quite a beating and it seems like they’re in the shop quite a bit,” Marryat said. “So, fortunately, we have a backup.”

Why the Town of Payson can only supports certain charities

Back in July, Payson Mayor Tom Morrissey floated a resolution that would add a line item in the budget for the nonprofit Payson Homeless & Homeless Veterans Initiative. The justification for that ask stated PHHVI provides, “public services that are either not provided for by the Town directly or that may be enhanced through an agreement of three parties.” Already three local nonprofits receive financial support from the town for the services they provide: the chamber of commerce (Visitors Center), the Payson Senior Center (Beeline Bus and Meals on Wheels) and the Humane Society of Central Arizona (animal services). When Morrissey asked the council to approve the resolution in July, the council pushed back with fears of opening the funding floodgates to all nonprofits in town. They instead asked for more time to consider his request and get a presentation from PHHVI.
