A federal judge's temporary injunction blocked that pause after 22 states and the District of Columbia challenged a memo from the White House budget office.
"It was possible they were going to hold the funding and not reimburse us. So if that continued, which it hasn't, then we would have had to really look at our service and probably cut services if we needed to account for that funding gap," Barth said.

Since 2019, STAN-RTA ridership has increased by 20 percent, going from 2.4 million annual riders to 2.9 million. Barth said he expects those numbers to increase.
