A reduction in hours this summer for the Dial-a-Ride program in Fort Frances.The transportation service on Mondays and Tuesdays during July and August will now be available from noon to 5 p.m., instead of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The town's community service manager Jason Kabel says North Air Service asked for the change as part of a new three-year agreement, noting few riders on those days and a difficulty in staffing.
Hours of operation on other days remain unchanged.
The town is also increasing the subsidy it provide to North Air by 50 cents per ride to $3.00.
The cost to the user stays the same.
