As of January 1, 2007,
the Miami County Transit Service provides all public
transit services to the people of Piqua as well as the
county.
The City of Piqua owned and provided a curb-to-curb,
demand responsive public transit service in the City of
Piqua from 1981-2007. The federal and state public
transit grant programs that make it financially possible
to provide public transit decided that both the Piqua
and Miami County Transit systems would have to
consolidate and that Miami County would deliver all of
Piqua's public transit services. The City of Piqua still
contributes to the county's funding of public transit
from the City's general fund.
The Piqua and Tipp City City Managers and Troy Safety
and Services Director all serve on a new (2007) public
transit steering committee to advise the Miami County
Commissioners on the issue of long-term funding of
public transit in Miami County. The City of Piqua also
has membership on the Miami County Transit Advisory
Committee.
