Within the last week, three municipalities made decisions on bringing the TARTA opt-out option to the electorate. The option of allowing a member community to leave the regional transit service (without unanimous approval of the other members) was included in the July state budget. Perrysburg and Sylvania Township councils both voted to add the referendum to the March ballot. Rossford chose to not take action, as of yet. My understanding is that member communities will have the option to leave through 2013.
This Toledo Blade editorial arguing for keeping TARTA together outlines much of the current events.
