The Finance Committee of Danvers held a meeting on April 28, 2025, to review the budget for fiscal year 2026. A significant topic of discussion was the funding for the Salem Skipper on-demand rideshare service, which is currently in its second year of operation.

Committee members noted that while there is no obligation to continue funding beyond the second year, the request for this year's funding is being made within existing resources. Aaron Henry, a representative involved with the rideshare service, was present to address any questions from the committee regarding the funding request.

The discussion highlighted the importance of the rideshare service in the community and its potential impact on local transportation options. The committee's decision on this funding will play a crucial role in determining the future of the service in Danvers.

As the meeting concluded, the committee members were expected to deliberate further on the budget implications and the overall significance of continuing support for the rideshare initiative.
