# Oshkosh Transportation Committee 11/10/26

The City of Oshkosh Transportation Committee met November 10, 2026, to consider transit, parking, and pedestrian-safety matters. The committee unanimously approved a request to increase the paratransit fare from $3 to $4 per ride, effective January 1 (the agenda states 2026). Staff said a new paratransit service agreement is expected to begin January 1 and will raise the cost to the city by about $5 per ride, from roughly $26 to at least $31; the selected proposal was the lowest received, and the agreement is scheduled for Common Council consideration. Staff also noted that requests for state and federal transit funding for 2027 are due by December 20. The committee unanimously approved changing North Main Street parking in front of the Oshkosh Child Development Center to 15-minute parking with holiday and weekend exceptions. It approved a temporary ATV lake-access route through Monominee Park for the winter by a 4–1 vote; the broader request to allow citywide ATV/UTV routes was not before the committee.

Transit service expansion and microtransit were discussed but not approved. Staff cited limited funding and ridership, explained that a ride currently costs about $26 and will rise to at least $31 under the upcoming agreement, and agreed to provide information in December about the Access to Jobs program’s ridership and eligibility. The committee also discussed a possible phased pilot of leading pedestrian intervals at traffic signals; staff estimated accessible push buttons at about $777 each and said signal programming and possible right-turn restrictions require further consideration. No additional contract award or capital project approval was identified.
