The Sedona City Council meeting on June 25, 2025, focused on significant updates regarding the city's transit program, presented by Amber Wagner, the transit administrator. The meeting began with the pledge of allegiance and roll call, confirming the presence of the mayor, vice mayor, and several councilors, while noting the absence of Councilor Fultz.

Wagner provided a comprehensive overview of the Sedona transit program, emphasizing its alignment with the Sedona in Motion initiative. She outlined the program's origins, which stemmed from community concerns about traffic congestion, safety, and quality of life, leading to the development of the Sedona Transit Implementation Plan (STIP) in February 2020. This plan aims to address these issues through a phased approach over ten years, focusing on improving mobility for residents and visitors alike.

Key components of the transit plan include core fixed route services, trailhead shuttles, and ADA demand response services. Wagner highlighted the progress made thus far, comparing current performance metrics against the goals set in the STIP. She also discussed upcoming projects and studies that will further enhance the transit system.

The meeting underscored the importance of transit in Sedona, as outlined in the 2021 Climate Action Plan and the recently adopted 2024 Sedona Community Plan. These documents reinforce the necessity of a robust transit system to support the community's vision for a safer and more connected environment.

As the meeting concluded, the council acknowledged the ongoing efforts to implement the transit program, which is seen as essential for addressing the growing demands of both residents and visitors in Sedona. Further discussions and updates on the transit initiative are expected in future council meetings.
