COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — The city of Columbus and the local community college will discuss extending public transit service to the campus.

The City Council this week decided to let staffers talk to Central Community College-Columbus about offering service at the campus just north of the eastern Nebraska city.

College President Matt Gotschall requested the discussions as part of a college sustainability plan that includes reducing carbon emissions by promoting carpooling and public transportation.

Columbus Area Transit service passengers pay $2 per one-way trip through a call-based system. The service hasn’t been operating outside city limits.
