Coconut Creek is making changes to its funding for the community bus service.

During the May 8 meeting, the commission approved a resolution to implement an amendment to the interlocal agreement with Broward County to provide funding for the city’s community shuttle service.

The city’s reimbursement rate will decrease from $48.71 to $48.68 per bus service hour for fiscal year 2025, retroactive to the beginning of the fiscal year. This will result in an overall funding decrease of $9,174 for the year.

The city operates two free community bus routes, which allow passengers to shop, visit, and travel within the Coconut Creek area. They also use the Community Bus to connect with other bus services such as Broward County Transit.

The north route serves Coconut Creek from Sample Road north to Hillsboro Boulevard, serving locations such as Lakeside Park, the Recreation Complex, and Seminole Casino.

The south route serves the city from South Creek north to Sample Road. According to city information, it is considered a good shopping route for the Township, Centura Park, and South Creek residents. The route passes by the Festival Marketplace, the Community Center, Coconut Creek Parkway Publix, and shopping plazas.
