Regular bus service to and from Apache Junction could begin in 2020 with money from the state of Arizona’s General Fund.
Rep. Kelly Townsend has introduced House Bill 2266, which would appropriate $200,000 a year for two years for the Arizona Department of Transportation to fund the buses through the regional public transportation authority.
House Bill 2266 on Feb. 12 was referred to the appropriations committee, after already being passed at the transportation committee.
