Where to?

CENTRAL Longevity Hub, N 14th and Erie. Sample display, not real-time data.

Plan point. A share of the county's unspent opioid settlement money helps run fare-free Happy Mobile Life service on recovery and clinic routes, and the overnight on-demand vans (12:30 AM to 5 AM).

• Sheboygan County's share is about $3.97 million over 18 years (allocation, Exhibit A).
• The county spent about $315,000 in 2024 and 2025 on treatment, jail treatment and data. None of it went to transportation (2024 report, 2025 report, pp. 309 to 317).
• $1,815,678.60 was unspent on December 31, 2025 (same reports).
• The national settlement's list of allowed uses, Exhibit E, includes “transportation to treatment or recovery programs or services” (Exhibit E).
• Other Wisconsin counties already use settlement money to help people get to treatment (Wisconsin Watch).

A free bus that is always there, 5 AM to 12:30 AM every day, gets people to treatment, therapy and recovery meetings with no booking and no fare. Read the research.

A missed bus can mean a missed checkup, therapy session or recovery meeting. Health groups across the country now say a ride is part of care. Happy Mobile Life builds that into every street: free buses for everyone, 5 AM to 12:30 AM every day, plus overnight on-demand. No booking, no approval, no fare. Longevity Hubs put the bus at the clinic door.

The city's draft Transportation Safety Action Plan already includes many of the tools we like best (draft plan). Our plan builds on them:

• Straight crosswalks lined up with the intersection, and lanes lined up across it.
• Better lighting at crossings and stops.
• Parking pulled back from crosswalks so drivers and walkers see each other.
• Raised crossings where people actually cross.
• Real pavement removal with wider sidewalks, like the plan's Erie Avenue curb moves, instead of paint and posts.
• Bus stops with shelters and lighting on 14th, 8th, Erie and Taylor.
