[Colorado-Talk] RTD Board Meeting Recap and Next Steps

[tkeenan79 at gmail.com]

Hi, all,

I just thought I'd update everyone on the discussion that took place last
night at the RTD Board Meeting.

I didn't take copious notes, so if I miss anything, if anyone else heard it,
by all means fill in the blanks.

Several board members, three or four, came out against limiting Access on
Demand to the same area and hours as Access-a-Ride.

One or two board members suggested that the trip limit should not be cut,
and One or two objected to the higher $6.50 fare.

Other than that, they all seemed willing to vote for one of the recommended
scenarios, though I could not get a read on which one board members would
prefer.

Overall, I was heartened by the opposition to restricting the area and
hours, but beyond that, it's anyone's guess what will happen.

This means more advocacy at the June meeting, June 24, and at especially at
the July 16 Operations, Safety, and Security Committee meeting, at which
staff wants a vote to make a recommendation to the Board. The July 29
meeting is when the Board will vote on whatever action the Committee
recommends, though I agree with Nate that by then, members will likely have
their minds made up.

 

Onward!

 

 

Cheers,

Tim
