• PA: Westmont seeks revision of CamTran funding formula; bus service backers speak out (masstransitmag.com) — Westmont Borough Council is weighing whether to pay CamTran’s full $13,412 request, a choice that could determine if local bus service is cut in 2026. Residents packed a recent council meeting urging leaders to avoid reductions that would hit riders, including people with disabilities, hardest. Council passed a no-tax-increase 2026 budget that can accommodate the full payment but hasn’t committed yet.
