SUMMARY:
Service: Yuma County Area Transit (YCAT) provides bus and transit services for the city and the surrounding county areas.

The city has already budgeted funds in the amount of $70,573.00 to help the continued services until the end of Fiscal Year 2020-2021. The City of San Luis and seven (7) other entities entered into the IGA in 2012 with YCAT to provide regional public transportation. Under the IGA, San Luis is to contribute a share of funding YCAT's public transportation. Other contributions come from Yuma County, the City of Yuma, the City of Somerton, the Town of Wellton, the Cocopah Indian Tribe, Arizona Western College, and Northern Arizona University. Under the twenty-five year, IGA of January 1, 2012 (expiring January 1, 2037), a formula for the percentage of contribution is developed every year.
