Murray, KY – Last month, the Murray Calloway Transit Authority took out a $160,000 dollar line of credit to help cover shortfalls in their operational budget. For the past two and a half years, MCTA has worked with Murray State University to build and establish the Racer Route System which offers free rides for MSU students, faculty, and staff. But with fuel prices on the rise and the system running at a deficit, Gary Pitts looks into the sustainability of such a transit program.
