Half-price voucher program takes bite out of the pump

For Door County residents looking for relief at the pump, Door-Tran in Sturgeon Bay can help with at least one of those fill-ups.

 

According to AAA, a gallon of gas in the Green Bay area on Monday stood at $3.68. That is up nearly a quarter from last week, more than a dollar from last month and more than 60 cents from a year ago.

 

Higher energy costs impact everyone, but especially residents living paycheck to paycheck, regardless of gas prices.

 

Door-Tran Executive Director Nikki Voight says qualified individuals can receive limited assistance through the organization, thanks to grants and support from community members. While the program maxes out at $100 in benefits, she says every little bit helps.

 

 

 

You can apply for the half-price gas voucher program by visiting or calling Door-Tran.

 

While markets may not provide relief at the pump, legislators at the federal level and in some states have floated the idea of a gas tax holiday lasting through the fall.
