> 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.

>> 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
