In December of 1992, Metro implemented a policy to go beyond the three-quarter mile limit to serve ALL OF MARION COUNTY. “As long as it is economically feasible, Metro will adhere to this policy.” In addition, service was intended throughout the county until the entire fixed route fleet is ADA accessible. 2010 Budget
