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

[Maryann Migliorelli]

Greetings all,
Another thing I noticed was that several board members were concerned with the burden being placed on the passengers in the tiered pricing system. I do not think they are going to go with the idea of multiple prices based on numbers of trips either. I would be very surprised if they went for that system, especially since it will take a lot more burden for the passengers using the system.

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.
