# Wausau Transit Commission Meeting - 9/17/26

The City of Wausau Transit Commission held a meeting on September 17, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing a draft report and presentation by John Wallen Campuni Architects regarding the planning and potential construction of a new transit facility. The discussion covered the evaluation of multiple sites, including the existing site and an old county highway garage site, with considerations of acreage needs, floodplain issues, and cost estimates. The recommended site was the old county highway garage site due to lower costs and better compliance with safety and operational needs. The commission also discussed the inclusion of electric bus infrastructure in the facility design and the timeline for funding and construction, noting that actual development would be years away and contingent on securing grants and council approval. Additionally, updates were provided on the procurement and delivery status of new buses and the implementation challenges of the CAD AVL scheduling and annunciator system. No formal votes on contracts or expenditures were recorded, but the meeting emphasized the need for further review, feedback, and future council approvals related to capital improvements and procurement.
