B
Thank
you
amy
good
afternoon.
My
name
is
thomas
lodwick,
I'm
the
interim
chair
of
the
transit
committee,
I'd
like
to
welcome
you
to
our
january
20th,
2021
meeting
first
I'll,
give
a
brief
overview
of
our
committee.
The
transit
committee
is
a
volunteer
citizen
board
designed
to
offer
input
and
guidance
to
the
asheville
transit
system
and
city
council.
B
B
We
welcome
public
input
that
can
be
done
electronically
now
or
it
can
be
done
after
our
meetings.
You
can
always
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
transit
committee
members.
If
you
have
questions
about
any
issues
that
come
up
today.
Thank
you
for
your
attendance.
Your
input
is
valued
because
we're
doing
this
virtually,
I
think,
I'm
supposed
to
start
with
a
sort
of
roll
call
in
case
folks
are
calling
in
and
can't
see
everyone.
B
K
Hi
everyone-
this
is
eunice
lovey
with
the
city.
B
I
don't
think
so.
Okay,
well,
I
think,
just
as
a
housekeeping
item,
if
you
can
just
try
to
mute
your
microphone
when
you're,
not
speaking
but
other
than
that,
I
think
we
can
get
into
the
agenda
which
I'll
pull
up
now.
B
So
the
first
thing
on
our
agenda
after
the
welcome
announcement
is
to
review
and
approve
our
november
2020
minutes.
I
think
jeff
prepared
those.
Does
anyone
have
any
comments
or
edits
on
the
minutes?
From
our
last
meeting.
B
B
I
think
thank
you
harvey
okay,
so
I'll
do
a
roll
call
vote
of
the
members
present
thomas
ludwig
myself.
I
harvey
hi
jeff
jones
hi
kyle
sherwood.
C
B
G
B
Unanimously,
I
actually
should
have
asked
the
beginning.
Is
anyone
able
to
take
minutes
for
this
meeting.
B
B
That
motion
was
made
by
me
seconded
by
harvey
and
passed
it
unanimously
at
3.
35
I
mean
does
it
when
I
was
secretary,
I
would
mainly
just
sort
of
keep
go
along
with
the
agenda
and
the
main
things
are
to
keep
track
of
the
actions
of
the
committee.
So
the
next
thing
on
the
agenda
would
be
to
recruit,
review
and
approve
the
agenda
for
this
meeting.
B
I
had
two
small
pieces
of
feedback.
I
think
dana
is
listed
as
a
current
member
and
she
has
since
resigned.
So
I
just
asked
that
she'd
be
removed
from
the
members
list
and
there's
just
a
duplication
on
the
the
bullet
point
about
an
update
on
potential
fiscal
year.
2022
service
changes.
B
B
Okay,
so
yeah,
I
would
just
yeah
move
to
approve
it.
As
with
with
those
changes,
it
sounds
like
kyle
seconds,
so
I'll
just
take
a
quick
vote
again,
I'm
just
going
to
go
in
the
same
order.
I
thomas
slader
vote
in
favor
harvey
harold
hi
jeff
jones,
hi,
kyle
hi
john
holland,
hi.
Michelle.
B
G
B
B
B
H
B
With
folks,
thank
you
so
much,
then,
would
be
basically
a
looking
for
a
response
from
staff
and
or
our
atp
dev.
On
the
recommendation
we
made
the
transit
committee
made.
I
should
say
at
the
last
meeting
that
riders
should
be
able
to
elect
to
ride
on
an
overflow
bus
when
the
lead
bus
is
not
full.
B
I
think
we
all
know
what
that
means,
but
if
anyone
is
listening
in
certain
routes
have
two
buses
running
at
the
same
time,
given
the
passenger
restrictions
and
the
need
for
overflow
capacity,
the
request
has
been
made
by
the
committee
that
a
person
should
be
able
to
elect
to
get
the
overflow
bus,
even
if
the
lead
bus
is
not
full
just
given
coven
19
and
various
safety
concerns.
B
My
understanding
is
the
current
practice
is
you
can
only
get
on
the
overflow
bus
if
the
lead
bus
is
full
and
we
thought
that
there
was
good
reason
to
give
folks
a
choice
so
sort
of
just
looking
for
a
response
to
that
motion.
J
I
I
let
me
throw
this:
is
barry
thomas
one
of
the
reasons
for
that
was
well
the
the
main
reason
for
that
was
because
there
was
an
issue
with
masks
that
that
people
weren't
wearing
masks,
which
they
weren't
required
to
wear
mask
at
that
time,
and
they
are
all
required
to
wear
a
mask
now.
J
Although
quite
honestly-
and
I
hear
it
on
the
radio-
because
I
listen
to
the
radio
a
lot
that
some
of
our
drivers
will
actually
accommodate
that-
it's
not
something
that
we.
I
think
that
we
want
to
throw
in
there
as
a
given.
Just
because
the
reason
for
the
overload
bus
is,
if
we
get
the
nine
passengers
on
the
front
bus,
then
they
can
move
to
the
second
bus
and
everybody
is
now
required
to
wear
a
mask.
J
B
B
D
Yeah
some
couple
more
things
to
consider
when
a
bus
is
near
capacity,
there
may
be
six
or
seven
passengers
in
the
back
of
the
first
bus.
That
social
distancing
is
then
at
three
feet,
just
because
you're
sitting
in
every
other
seat.
D
So
I
I
guess
I
would
like
to
add
to
what
barry
said
and
I
appreciate
what
he
said
about
masks.
But
it's
also
about
social
distancing.
D
You
can
get
on
a
secondary
bus
to
get
greater
social
distance
and
I
believe
the
individual
who
requested
it
on
november.
The
10th
was
also
had
an
underlying
medical
condition
and
so
was
electing
for
a
safer
option
as
well.
In
that
respect,
greater
social,
distancing,
greater
spread
out.
Thank.
C
C
This
is
kyle.
I
would
just
also
add
that
I,
you
know
being
on
a
bus
with
seven
people
is
a
lot
being
on
with
nine
is
more
and
14
or
15
is
just
to
me
unrideable.
So
I
think
that
if
you're
stuck
out
somewhere
in
east
asheville
near
the
va
and
you're
the
only
person
at
the
bus
stop,
I
don't
think
it's
unreasonable
to
say
well
if
the
young
bus
is
in
in
line
to
be
here
in
five
minutes,
I'd
like
to
elect
to
just
ride
that
one,
especially
on
an
inbound.
J
D
I
think
I'm
unmuted
still
I'll
just
add.
I
think
safety
would
be
a
would
be
a
higher
priority
than
that
small
accounting
change.
The
infrequent
number
of
times
that
it
does
happen.
B
And
I
I
saw
jeff's
hand
raised,
but
you
certainly
don't
have
to
wait
for
me
to
call
on
folks.
I
mean
I
think
it
can
get
a
little
disorderly
on
remote
meetings
like
this,
but
just
hope
folks
know
to
not
wait
on
me
to
notice
so
moving
on.
Then.
B
The
next
item,
I
think,
is
a
presentation
from
staff.
It's
an
update
on
transit
funding.
I
think,
maybe
specifically
it's
about
the
most
recent
federal
funding
issue,
but
I'll
just
let
staff
take
it
over
from.
B
A
L
A
K
Hey
everyone,
so
this
is
a
quick
update
in
terms
of
the
cares
funding
we
received
or
was
allocated
to
us
last
year
I
should
say,
live
fiscal
year,
and
so
the
presentation
will
provide
information
on
the
funds
spent
today
the
funds
remaining,
and
I
also
wanted
to
update
tc
members
on
the
newest
funding
that
was
appropriated
and
signed
into
law
late
last
month.
K
So
a
quick
update
on
what
was
appropriated
to
asheville,
the
total
amount
was
8.6.
The
city
was
sub-allocated
about
3.6
almost
3.7,
and
then
the
remaining
funds
went
to
other
transit
system
in
nashville
there.
That
amount
was
about
approximately
4.9
to
approximately
2.4
was
sub-allocated
to
bamcom.
County
1.7
was
sub-allocated
to
henderson
county
and
about
717.
K
K
K
We
went
to
city
council
to
increase
the
contract
amount
by
560
000
and
we
also
requested
permission
to
extend
the
term
of
the
contract
from
june
to
april
of
this
year.
K
So
far,
we've
spent
about
178k
for
ratp
for
frontline
staff,
all
the
different
things
that
they
have
been
doing
in
association
with
covet
19..
We,
as
mentioned
we've,
also
be.
We
have
not
been
charging
fares,
and
so,
if
you
look
at
both
fixed
route
as
well
as
paratransit,
that
amounts
to
445
561
000
and
in
addition
to
that,
we've
included
state
funding
lost
because
of
funding
not
being
available,
and
that
amount
is
about
a
little
over
1.1
million.
So
overall,
we've
spent
about
3.1
million
of
the
cares
act.
Funding
that
we've
received.
K
767-
and
that
is
estimated
to
last
through
march
of
this
year
towards
the
end
of
march
or
early
april,
and
then
we
also
anticipate
spending
an
additional
15
000
for
supplies
and
equipment,
and
then
the
remaining
will
be
used
for
fair
loss
and
just
wanted
to
update
members
that
the
total
amount
remaining
is
526
000.
However,
if
you
deduct
the
390
000
remaining
for
young
transportation,
that
amount
is
about
129
000.
So
right
now
we
have
approximately
about
129
000
remaining
on
the
total
amount
that
was
sub-allocated
to
the
city
of
asheville.
K
So
basically,
this
is
the
new
one
that
was
recently
appropriated
and
signed
into
law
by
president
trump
or
the
former
president
trump,
and
it's
called
the
coronavirus
response
and
relief.
Supplementary
appropriations
act
and
the
total
appropriations
was
14
billion.
Of
that
amount,
13.26
billion
has
been
allocated
to
transit
systems
in
urbanized
areas.
K
K
So
what
that
entails
is
that
we
received,
based
on
the
existing
formula
used
by
fta
asheville
uca
received
88
of
the
cares
act,
funding
allocated
in
2020,
as
well
as
the
fy
20
5307,
regular
apportionment
combined,
and
then,
when
you
take
the
total
of
that
that
exceeds
the
threshold
of
75,
which
was
established
for
urbanized
areas
that
can
receive
the
funding
from
the
new
amount.
The
new
supplementary
funding
and
as
indicated
this
is
based
on
established
federal
threshold.
K
In
addition,
if
the
combined
funds
for
cares
act
as
well
as
the
regular
5307
exceed
the
75
threshold,
the
overage
is
distributed
to
ucas
that
do
not
exceed
that
threshold
in
a
second
distribution
as
well
as
if
any
of
the
funding
remains.
After
second
distribution,
an
additional
formula
is
created
for
a
third
funding
distribution
and
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge,
I
haven't
seen
anything
come
through
in
terms
of
a
possible
third
distribution.
K
Basically,
that's
the
end
of
my
presentation
in
terms
of
an
update
to
cares
act
as
well
as
the
new
funding.
D
So
can
I
begin
with
a
question
so
I'm
curious
about
the
88
threshold.
Did
we
do
anything
wrong
to
to
get
so
much
money
the
first
time,
and
what
would
we
have
had
to
have
done
to
have
not
exceeded
that
threshold?
D
K
Well,
I
I
would
say
no,
no,
no,
no
in
terms
of
the
questions
you
posted
jeff,
so
basically
we
did
not
do
anything
wrong
and
they,
as
indicated
fda
or
the
federal
government,
had
a
formula
in
place
in
terms
of
allocating
the
funding
to
ucas
as
well
as
remember.
K
There
are
also
other
funding
programs
that
are
also
receiving
money
from
those
appropriations.
And
what
do
I
mean
by
that
there's
a
grant
program
in
addition
to
5307
it's
called
5311,
and
that
funding
is
basically
used
for
transit
systems
in
rural
rural
areas,
so
they
also
got
a
portion
of
the
total
apportionment,
as
well
as
the
funding
that
we
use
for
prior
transit
service,
which
is
the
53-10
grant
program.
So
basically
fta
was
spreading
the
money
around.
K
If
I
may
explain
it
that
way,
and
in
all
honesty,
we
were
not
aware
that
a
threshold
has
been
put
in
place
in
terms
of
how
the
funding
would
be
distributed.
We
basically
we
basically
got
all
that
information
after
the
appropriations
of
the
fund
and
had
been
signed
into
law.
G
K
K
We
can
definitely
follow
up
with
fta
the
regional
regional
office
in
atlanta
to
find
out,
if
there's
anything
that
we
can
do
in
terms
of
perhaps
getting
any
funding
from
the
second
go
around
and
we'll
follow
up
with
the
group
as
to
what
their
decision
is
or
what
their
comments
are.
K
Yes,
we
normally
just
a
quick
overview
as
to
what
how
the
federal
funding
comes
to
us.
There
are
certain
grant
programs
that
are
formula
based.
So
basically
fta
uses
a
number
of
factors
to
determine
that
formula.
K
Based
on
that
information,
they
then
appropriate
in
funds
to
all
the
various
transit
systems
within
an
urbanized
area.
Then,
in
addition
to
that,
we
work
with
fta.
They
have,
I
want
to
say,
an
online
system
that
we
basically
input
that
information
in
terms
of
various
activities
that
we
can
use
to
apply
for
the
grant.
I
I
don't
want
to
go
into
too
much
details,
but
I
just
want
to
give
you
an
overview
as
to
the
dynamics
in
terms
of
once
the
funds
are
appropriated
and
we
know
how
much
is
coming
to
us.
K
So
let's
say
that,
for
if
you
take
the
care
side
that
was
appropriated
in
addition
to
our
regular
5307,
based
on
the
comments
provided
by
jeff,
they
looked
at
all
the
various
that
that
data
set
and
basically
appropriate
funding
to
the
different
systems
in
the
uca.
K
The
other
thing
that
I
want
to
briefly
mention
is
that
one
of
the
things
we
also
do
on
an
annual
basis
and
not
to
confuse
you,
is
that
we
submit
reports
to
fta
on
various
aspects
of
transit
operations.
So
some
of
the
information
we
provide
is
operational,
stats,
financial
information,
mileage
hours
of
service
provided
and
once
fta.
Look
at
that
information.
K
D
D
D
I
did
share
this
information
with
city
with
kim
rony
in
city
council,
and
she
has
forwarded
this
information
to
deborah
campbell.
I
don't
know
if
there's
anything
the
city
can
do.
If
there's
anything,
we
can
do
to
get
more
funding,
but
if
there's
a
role
for
transit
committee
to
play
so
that
we
can
can
get
more
money
for
funding.
For
example,
in
your
slide
you
did
say
that
the
younes
contract,
we
think
that
what
we
have
is
going
to
carry
us
through
march.
Yes,
that's
that's
a
concern
to
me
so
I'll
stop
there.
K
Thanks
and
as
we
continue
to
get
more
info
information,
whether
or
not
if
we're
getting
any
appropriations
for
the
from
the
latest
coveted
funding,
I
would
definitely
share
that
information
with
tc
in
terms
of
what's
happening
and
if
there's
anything
that
we
can
do
to
change
that
decision,
I
doubt
it,
but
I
I
mean
the
the
best
we
can
do
is
try
and
see
what
comes
true.
J
K
J
Right
and
that's
that's-
that
was
what
I
was
trying
to
address
for
jeff
is
okay.
I
thought
we
went
after
everything
that
we
could
go
after
as
far
as
the
city
goes
for
the
funding
and
the
percentage
that
they
let
out
the
88
percent
or
that's
the
fta
and
the
mpo
and
those
are
those
are
the
final
dollars.
That's
what
they
could
get
to
get
the
max.
They
could
get.
That's
how
I
understood
it.
Yeah.
K
J
J
J
K
D
C
Here
with
one
maybe
last
comment,
my
understanding
of
the
newest
act
is
that
a
lot
of
the
funding
that
was.
D
C
K
I
want
to
say
that's
correct,
you
know
we
got
the
money,
it's
divided
among
the
four
transit
systems
and
each
of
the
four
systems,
especially
the
three
transit
systems,
have
to
let
the
city
know
how
and
what
they're
spending
their
funds
on
so
that
we
can
apply
it.
Does
that
answer
your
question?
I
don't
think
I
heard
all
of
it.
I.
C
G
K
And
I
think
that's
what
we've
been
doing
basically
based
on
the
amount
that
was
sub-allocated
to
the
city.
We
basically
went
to
city
council
and
recommended
how
best
to
use
that
money
in
what
areas
to
use
the
money
for
and
based
on
that
we
are
working
with
fta
to
apply
for
the
funds.
It's
one
thing
basically
saying
you
are
going
to
use
the
money
for
different
projects
or
different
programs.
G
K
K
B
I
know
we
so
it
looks
like
tory's
here
tori.
Thank
you
for
joining
us.
We
had
deferred
the
election
of
new
officers
until
you
could
join.
I
did
I
wonder
if
y'all
would
entertain
just
the
next
item
after
the
funding
was
an
update
on
the
young's
bus
contract,
which
we
just
got
into
a
little
bit.
Y'all.
Are
you
all?
Okay?
B
If
we
just
kind
of
close
that
out
eunice,
I
don't
know,
is
there
anything
else
to
share
or
more
details
on
the
young's
contract
like
the
extension,
the
funding
of
it
plans
for
the
funding
running
out?
Apparently
I
mean.
B
K
Anything
more
to
share
to
be
honest
and
much
of
the
information
we've
shared
and
are
also
providing
today,
basically
lays
out.
You
know
the
plan
on
how
to
use
that,
especially
the
additional
transit
service,
so
there
isn't
very
much
to
share
anymore.
Of
course,
if
there
are
any
questions,
we
can
definitely
provide
additional
information
in
future.
B
B
B
K
D
D
J
J
So
so
that's
what
it
is.
There
are
five
buses
monday
through
saturday
on
five
different
routes
following
as
overloads
and
then
on
sunday.
We
run
one
overload
bus
now
the
couple
of
holidays
we
just
had.
We
ran
a
few
extra
youngs
because
we
were
running
the
volume
and,
quite
honestly,
once
we
dropped
down
to
nine
people
from
14.
J
You
know
the
overloads
have
grown
and
they've
grown
exponentially
in
the
last
three
weeks.
It
is,
it
is
getting
the
overload's
getting
much
larger
and
much
larger,
so
here's
here's
kind
of
where-
and
I
I
maybe
I
don't
mean
to
jump
in
over
eunice.
But
here's
where
I
think
about
what's
going
to
happen
in
the
next
couple
of
months.
J
If
we
get
to
the
point
to
where
you
know
the
city-
and
we
were
all
kind
of
hoping-
maybe
there'd
be
another
funding
surge,
maybe
there
still
will
be-
I
don't
know,
so
those
are
all
things
that
are
playing
out
right
now
that
we
don't
have
answers
to
and
how
it's
going
to
end
here,
if
and
when
we
run
out
of
money
for
youngs
okay,
so
that's
just
that's
playing
itself
out
right
now,
the
obviously
the
state
cut
over
a
million
dollars
of
income
to
the
city
for
funding.
J
Can
that
be
replenished
somehow,
I
kind
of
doubt
it.
Their
funds
are
heavily
impacted
as
well,
but
they
took
a
million
away
this
year
over
a
million.
So
all
of
those
things
are
in
play
when
it
comes
time
there
will
have
to
be
decisions,
as
we
did
when
we
first
started
this
up
back
in
march.
Remember
we
cut
three
rounds
right
to
use
the
buses
and
the
manpower
to
run
the
overloads
or
extra
buses
on
those
routes.
So
those
are
the
kind
of
things
that
come
in
play
now
as
we
move
forward.
D
So
is,
I
guess
the
question
I'm
moving?
Is
there
more
room
to
get
more
art
overflow
buses
instead
of
young
overflow
buses
again
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
use
that
money
as
efficiently
as
we
can
so
that
it
will
last
longer?
Does
my
question
make
sense.
J
J
And
they're
limited
at
this
point
too:
oh
so
yeah,
it's
all
of
those
things.
You
know
everybody
there's
a
lot
of
people
on
unemployment
and
they're,
not
they're,
not
they're,
not
working,
and
we
have
a
specialist
group
cdls
or
not.
People
with
cdls
are
not
in
available
quantities
right
now.
It's
it's
been
that
way
for
a
year.
So
all
those
things
are
banging
up
against
it.
J
L
So
if
I,
if
I
could
jump
in
with
a
question
just
curious,
it
seems
like
you
mentioned,
vaccines.
Barry
is
like
one
strategy
for
combating
the
issue
of
not
having
the
follow-on
buses.
J
Well,
we're
kind
of
monitoring.
What's
going
on
with
both
federal
state
and
local
government
buncombe
county,
you
know
makes
decisions
that
will
affect
all
of
us.
J
The
state
has
made
decisions
that
have
affected
all
of
us
and
all
of
those
things
going
forward.
So
will
there
be
an
additional
cares?
Funding?
Who
knows?
That's,
that's
not
up
to
us,
we'll,
observe,
monitor
and
see
what
happens,
but
in
the
end
there's
a
lot
of
different
scenarios
you
could
go
to.
We
could
go
to
cutting
service
and
put
in
additional
buses
on
other
routes.
J
We
could
do
the
things
we
started
out
doing
in
march
last
year,
so
all
different
levels,
but
it
all
kind
of
depends
on
what
really
happens.
You
know
our
do.
Do
our
employees
get
the
next
level
of
vaccine
lineup,
you
know
those
are
things
we
don't
know
yet
and
it
hasn't
been
scheduled
and
you
know
we
jump
right
in
there
and
go
for
it.
J
G
So
very
would
rappea,
dev
and
and
asheville
transit
be
open
to
partnering
with
organizations
that
are
also
downtown.
Like
you
say,
vaccines
like
with
the
health
department
with
maybe
the
services
for
the
homeless
community.
G
I
know
that
rap
p,
dev
and
art
buses
right
now
spend
a
lot
of
energy
and
time
and
a
lot
of
ridership
is
taking
a
very
vulnerable
community
back
and
forth
to
the
places
that
serve
them.
West
asheville
gets
hit
hard
because
of
it's
along
a
place
where
homeless,
folks
get
fed,
often
and
where
they
can
get
gear
and
the
we1
routes
as
well.
So
when
you
have
sometimes
that
that's
one,
you
know
one
whole
bus.
G
What
if
we
partnered
with
you
know
for
a
van
for
with
a
hope
or
homeward
bound
that
there
was
a
shuttle
that
would
take
folks
to
the
from
the
plasma
center
to
you
know
west
asheville,
and
so
we
come
up
with
creative
and
innovative
ways
to
move
the
populations
that
need
to
be
moved
when
the
shelters
close
and
the
buses
and
the
bus
station
becomes
a
place
where
people
can
just
go
and
sit.
G
Then
it's
hard
to
and
then
those
become
your
full
loads,
there's
a
lot
of
factors
going
into
who's
riding
the
bus
right
now
and
and
closeness
and
community
and
the
way
the
behavior
is
all
of
it.
There's
so
much,
and
I
think
that
partnership
right
now
could
be
a
way
to
creatively
come
up
with.
With
some
of
these
gaps
and
and
with
funding,
it
could
be
new
new
ways
to
open
up
new
revenue
sources.
So
can
we
speak
to
that?
A
little.
J
Bit,
I
I
think
those
things
are
things
that
the
city,
the
homeless
cult
there
there's
got
to
be
homeless
coalition.
There's
got
to
be
the
churches
that
are
helping
all
these
people.
The
city
absolutely
ought
to
be
looking
at
all
options
to
see
what
you
know,
types
of
things
they
can
come
up
with.
It
isn't
just
a
transit
issue
at
this
point
either
at
some
point,
they've
got
to
start
charging
fares
again
too.
So
all
of.
H
G
H
G
G
So
that's
what
I'm
saying
if
there's
a
willingness
to
work
together,
I
would
like
us
to
explore
those
options
and
and
officially
start
that
communication
and
look
at
look
at
ways
to
be
innovative
and
partner,
focused
with
the
these
in
populations
that
we
that
we
deal
with
focusing
on
public
health
and
city
and
county
and
ways
we
all
really
work
together
to
use
transit,
to
keep
everybody
healthy
and
moving.
It's
the
vein
of
our
of
our
small
business
community
and
our
working
force.
G
It's
how
people
like
me
get
to
work,
so
I
think
it's
important
to
think
of
that
as
the
veins
and
the
and
the
health
of
our
city
and
and
the
more
unclogged
we
are
and
the
more
working
together
we
are
and
the
more
movement
the
better.
So
anyway,
that's
my
two
cents.
K
Rochelle,
this
is
eunice
just
wanted
to
mention
that
we
did
look
into
that
at
the
beginning
of
covet
and
looking
at
what
partnership
we
could
put
in
place
to
provide
those
services
you
mentioned,
we
can
take
a
look
at
that
again
and
explore
what
is
feasible
to
be
able
to
come
back
to
the
group
and
say
this
is
what
we
looked
into.
This
is
what
might
work
or
might
not
work.
E
Up,
yes,
thank
you
first,
I
wanted
to
say
sorry
for
distraction
and
getting
disconnected
to
rachelle
like
I
like
the
creative
and
innovative
the
way
you
use
those
words
and
I
love.
I
love
that
thought
and
the
idea.
E
K
Yeah,
it
does
make
sense.
Brandon
and
all
I
can
say
is
we
continue
to
look
at
that
in
terms
of
all
the
different
funding
sources
that
we
could
tap
into,
although
cares
may
run
out,
careside
funding
may
run
out
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
mentioned
that
we
continue
to
get
our
regular
federal
funding
that
we
receive
for
transit
operations
and
other
programs
that
we
implement.
K
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is
that,
yes,
the
state
did
count
about
a
million
dollars
from
the
funding
we
get.
I
understand
they're
looking
into
that
as
well,
there's
no
guarantee,
so
the
point
is
well
taken
and
where
working
as
much
as
possible
to
make
sure
that
we
have
funding
for
the
services
we
provide.
B
I
would
just
say
to
me:
this
does
sound
like
an
emergency
and
it
sounds
like
an
advocacy
opportunity
for
everyone
on
the
committee
to
reach
out
to
the
new
city
council
about
I
mean
whether
y'all
want
to
do
a
motion
or
a
letter.
I
don't
know,
but
I
mean
ultimately,
they
need
to
know
that
this
funding
is
running
out
through
hopes
that
we
will
all
be
vaccinated
by
some
miracle
in
march.
B
So
my
fear
is
we'll
be
staring
down
the
other
scenario
of
just
service
cuts,
leaving
even
more
people
behind
I
mean
we're
already
worried
about
the
rider
pass
ups
but
boy.
It
will
be
so
much
worse,
come
march
if
we
have
to
cut
those
overflow
buses.
So
that's
something
we
definitely
can
do
as
a
committee
and
that's
why
we're
here
is
to
advise
city
council.
So
that
would
make
sense
to
me-
and
we
have
a
former
transit
committee
member
on
city
council
now.
D
All
thomas,
I
have
just
a
question:
we
have
a
phone,
a
phone
caller
and
I
just
wanted
to
know
if
that
might
be
georgia
and
if
she
is,
I
just
wanted
to
recognize
her,
but
I
don't
know
I'm
sorry,
1
855
number.
B
Thank
you
all
for
that
exchange.
It's
almost
4
30.
B
So
again,
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
reach
out
to
your
city
council
members
about
that,
but
I
would
like
to
get
back
to
the
first
agenda
item
we
had
unless
anyone
else
had
anything
to
say
on
those
funding
sort
of
questions
right
now.
B
No
okay,
so
I
sent
an
update
to
the
committee
about
this
issue.
I
brought
it
up
last
time,
but
I
have
to
wind
down
my
involvement
on
the
committee,
probably
no
later
than
march.
So
I'm
afraid
this,
I'm
hoping
this
isn't
my
last
meeting
but
there's
a
chance
since
we
don't
know
when
we're
ever
going
to
get
to
meet
again.
So
I
really
would
like
us
to
make
some
progress
on
electing
new
officers.
B
I
am
describing
myself
as
interim
chair
because
I
was
the
vice
chair
before
beth
medlock
stepped
down
and
so
right
now,
I'm
the
only
sort
of
officer
we
have
we're
supposed
to
have
a
chair.
Vice
chair,
terry,
the
secretary
mainly
is
responsible
for
keeping
the
minutes
and
the
meeting
we've
had.
You
know
it
doesn't
have
to
be
that
difficult
of
a
job.
B
The
main
things
are
to
create
a
public
record
of
the
the
actions
the
committee
takes
who's
present
at
the
committee
meetings
and
like
a
summary
of
what
we
go
over
kim
rony
set
like
an
impossible
standard
of
basically
a
transcription
of
the
meetings,
but
it
doesn't
have
to
be
that
level
of
detail.
You
can
see
other
what
other
committees
do,
and
so
it's
not
a
huge
job,
but
it's
a
super
important
one.
B
It's
like
absolutely
essential
as
a
city
committee
that
we
keep
good
records
of
what
we
do
so
that
position
is
open.
The
position
of
vice
chair
is
open.
Vice
chair,
as
I
interpret
it,
is
basically
like
the
backup.
B
So
if
your
chair
can't
be
present
they're
supposed
to
be
the
runs
the
meeting,
it's
not
that
big
of
a
deal
until
your
chair
resigns
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic,
and
then
you
end
up
chair
for
a
while.
But
hopefully
that's
my
scenario
is
not
one
that
will
play
out
for
anybody
else.
The
chair,
I
think,
is
probably
the
most
time
intensive
role.
B
Certainly,
a
good
chair
spends
a
lot
of
non-meeting
time
on
the
job
and
certainly
they've
been
much
much
more
active
and
involved
chairs
than
I
have
been,
but
that
one
I
mean
really
you're
setting
the
agenda.
You're
working
with
staff,
you're
running
the
meetings.
It's
like
anything
with
these
committees.
I
think
you're
supposed
to
put
in
more
really
outside
of
the
meetings
than
you
do
in
the
in
the
meetings,
but
that's
true
for
any
member,
but
especially
true
for
chair,
so
my
hope
is.
B
We
can
move
forward
on
some,
if
not
all
of
these,
because
I
just
don't
want
to
leave
y'all
in
the
lurch
sort
of
not
having
an
answer
to
this.
Before
I
step
down,
I
think
we've
had
in
my
few
years
here.
We've
had
a
couple
times
where
just
a
chair
abruptly
resigns,
and
it's
not
that
great
for
the
rest
of
the
committee,
but
especially
when
there's
not
other
officers
in
place,
so
that
was
my
introductory
spiel
slash
begging.
I
guess
let
me
move
on
this,
certainly
open
it
up
to
discussion.
B
I
don't
know
I'm
open
to
ideas
on
how
to
handle
it.
You
know,
typically,
if
anyone
wants
to
nominate
anyone
for
a
role
that
would
be
appropriate.
People
can
express
interest.
We
I've
never
seen
like
competing
interest
in
positions,
so
I
don't
really
know
how
we
would
manage
that,
but
we
can
figure
it
out,
but
I'll
stop.
B
G
So,
thank
you,
thomas
for
that
important
call
to
action.
I
willingly
throw
my
hat
into
the
ring,
for
whatever
position
would
be
most
helpful
from
secretary
to.
I
do
have
the
time
to
serve
as
a
chair
or
a
vice
chair.
I
certainly
welcome
any,
not
competition,
but
anyone
else
who
would
I'd
be
happy
to
serve
in
in
any
role.
So
if
anyone
else
would
like
to
step
up
thinks
they
can
work
with
me
a
little
more
closely.
I
would
welcome
that
as
well.
A
G
Thomas,
thank
you
for
your
time.
The
other
day
you
know
exploring
this
option
with
me.
I
appreciate
that
yeah
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
B
I
don't
know
if
I
would
call
it
that,
but
like
one
thing
to
keep
in
mind,
I
think
it's
important
to
get
this
sorted,
but
you
know
once
it's
your
committee,
you
all
can
reimagine
the
rules.
I
think
we've
often
been
frustrated
by
this
sort
of
arrangement,
but
never
really
had
time
to
reimagine.
What
that
looks
like
I
think,
secretary
and
vice
chair
are
kind
of
open-ended
duration.
Chair
is,
I
think,
one
year,
but
you
know,
as
a
committee,
maybe
in
more
normal
times,
y'all.
B
H
F
B
L
Discussion,
I
just
want
to
thank
y'all
for
stepping
up.
I
really
appreciate
that
and
on
behalf
of
the
whole
committee,
it's
just
really
helpful
to
have
people
take
ownership.
So
thank
you
all
so
much.
H
D
Just
want
to,
I
just
want
to
echo
that
as
well.
I
think
this,
I
think
this
is
really
strong
to
have
three
people
engaged
and
and
excited
about
the
roles
that
they're
taking
on,
and
I
appreciate
your
stepping
up.
Awesome.
B
Well
great,
if
there's
no
other
discussion,
I
would
just
echo
that
appreciation
and
I
can
do
a
roll
call
vote.
B
Okay,
all
right
so
thomas
ludwick,
I
vote
in
favor
harvey
harold
hi
jeff
jones,
hi,
kyle,
sherrod
hi,
john
hahn,
hi
rochelle.
G
H
B
And
yeah
I'm
happy
I've
been
in
all
those
roles.
So
if
y'all
want
to
reach
out
to
me
after
the
meeting
happy
to
impart
a
little
wisdom,
I
may
have.
B
Much
so
just
to
get
us
back
on
track.
I
think
the
next
thing
on
the
agenda.
I
was
just
kind
of
looking
for
an
update
on
the
mask
distribution
sort
of
mask
dispenser
updates,
eunice.
I
know
some
of
that's
covered
in
your
monthly
memo,
but
if
you
could
kind
of
just
update
folks,
I
know
some
folks
are
not
really
riding
right
now
out
of
copic
concerns.
K
So
briefly,
to
partner
with
our
atp
dev,
to
ensure
that
we
have
sufficient
mask
on
hand
for
distribution
on
the
buses,
as
well
as
on
other
transit
stations,
I
want
to
say
we
have
probably
about
14,
14,
000
or
less
based
on
the
last
conversation
I
had
with
barry
in
terms
of
how
many
masks
we
have
on
hand
and
then
moving
on,
and
I
believe
that
is
going
pretty
well
in
terms
of
requirement
of
masks
on
the
busses
today
I
haven't
heard
anything
otherwise
other
than
people
making
sure
that
they
have
their
mask
on
barry.
K
Is
there
any
other
updates
to
that?
Based
on
our
last
conversation,.
J
No,
we
went,
we
went
through
a
pretty
good
curve
of
getting
everybody
on
board
and
you
still
have
a
person
here
and
there
that
you
know
they
don't
want
to
buy
in.
We
don't
transport
them.
It's
that
simple
anymore,
so
they're
required
to
wear
them.
We're
constantly
having
to
ask
people
to
form
up
over
the
nose
it's,
but
that's
pretty
much
it.
We
have
masks.
We
have
installed
all
the
mask
holders.
We
have
dispensers
on
all
the
buses
on
our
back
doors
and
at
the
on
the
young
buses
up
front.
J
K
C
Here
I
guess
maybe
this
is
the
nature
of
what
I
do
in
the
courthouse,
but
are
there
any
real
like
confrontational
problems
that
the
drivers
are
having?
I
haven't
witnessed
any
personally.
I've
witnessed
some
people
being
angry
or
upset,
but
capitulating
and
wearing
the
mask.
J
H
J
F
H
F
Harvey
getting
to
what
barry's
saying
and
what
who
said
kyle
was
asking
the
question,
as
I've
been
up
here
on
this
bus
system
for
almost
four
years,
these
drivers
that
we
have
you
don't
want
to
confront
them,
they're
very
good
at
their
job.
I
mean
they
are
very
good.
F
I
can.
I
can
tell
you
that
right
now,
you
don't
want
to
confront
our
drivers.
Our
drivers,
they're
well-versed
in
their
jobs
and
their
demeanor
is
good,
but
once
they
give
you
a
stern
look
and
their
answer,
no.
H
J
H
K
D
D
You
have
to
actually
ask
go
up
to
the
window
and
ask
for
a
map.
H
J
G
Well,
thank
you
for
having
them
available
and
I
think
at
this
point
it
really
also
is
part
of
just
good
ridership
responsibility
that,
as
a
writer
that
you
show
up
with
your
mask
already,
you
know
I
think
our
writership
has
been
really
reliant
on
rap,
pdev
and
transit
to
give
out
masks,
and
I
think
that
you
know
we
really
for
the
sake
of
the
drivers
and
just
advocating
for
them
in
a
different
way.
G
Writers
should
come
with
a
mask
already,
so
thanks
what
you're
doing
on
that
front
and
I'm
sorry
that
drivers
and
bus
staff
even
has
to
deal
with
it.
So
thank
you
for
making
it
available.
Thank
you.
The
city
has
done
a
great
job
of
making
them.
J
D
I
might
add
one
other
thing
before
you
order
more
masks.
Just
economics
may
still
have
a
large
supply
of
masks,
so
you
might
check
with
them
before
you
order
more
math.
B
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
just
an
update
on
rider
pass-ups.
We
spoke
about
this
briefly,
but
I
just
wanted
to
sort
of
hear
from
staff
and
the
contractor
or
really
any
members
about
this
issue.
I
continue
to
think
it's
an
emergency
so
happy
to
hear
about
this.
K
J
That
that
is
true.
That
is
correct.
If
you
know,
when
we
went
to
14
it
really
relaxed
that
number
between
nine
and
and
thirteen
passengers
was
an
important
number
for
overload
and
pass-up,
and,
and
so
when
we
went
back
down
to
nine,
we,
you
know
definitely
those
other
routes
that
only
have
one
bus
on
them.
I
mean
we
only
have
four
routes
that
have
two
buses:
five
five
routes.
Now
that
have
two
buses
on
it
and
so
those
other
routes,
it's
nine
people
and
there
are
people
sitting
there.
J
So
the
numbers
are
climbing
right
back
up
with
the
nine
restrictions
since
mid
to
late
december
and
moving
into
its
left
and
then
after
christmas
and
new
year's
the
last
couple
of
weeks.
I
think
a
lot
of
people
tried
to
get
back
to
work
and
they're
finding
that
the
bus
system
is
not
providing
that
service
right
now
on
a
consistent
basis
and
that's
because
of
the
overloads.
J
L
Are
pass-ups
counted
and
measured,
or
is
this
kind
of
anecdotal
evidence.
J
No,
they
are
they're
counted
and
there's
a
report
on
that.
I
think
the
last
report
we
had
is
right
up
through
december,
which
you'll
see
you
know
it's
it's.
I
I
guarantee
you
as
we
update
the
january
numbers,
it's
gone
through
the
roof.
It
really
has
you
can
you
can
hear
the
volume
increase
on
the
radio
chatter
so
and
we
do
record
it
so
it
is
being
recorded.
J
Yeah
we
did
hit
on
that
a
little
bit
earlier
before
you
got
on
sorry,
but
but
just
a
quick
update.
The
big
thing
there
was
people
not
wearing
a
mask
on
that
first
bus
when
it
wasn't
a
requirement
and
then,
as
jeff
said
in
our
conversation
earlier,
spatial,
our
social
distancing
may
want
more.
J
J
Well,
the
restriction:
well,
the
governor
passed
the
law,
but
you
have
to
wear
a
mask
so
once
the
masks
were
required,
we
didn't
see
the
need
to
separate
the
buses
passenger
loads.
Let's
fill
the
first
one
and
then
we
fill
the
second
one
and
right
now
we're
filling
the
first
one
and
we're
filling
the
second
one
on
many
of
these
routes
during
peak
times
and
passing
people.
H
D
Yes,
so
this
I
was
going
to
save
this
for
customer
concerns
and
maybe
I'll
get
back
to
it
with
regard
to
something
that
happened
on
the
the
170
route,
I'll
just
mention
briefly,
the
170
route
reported
on
december,
the
2nd
that
four
people
were
left
at.
I
think
spruce
hill
apartments
and
and
I've
been
thinking
about
this
a
lot
and
a
number
of
things
occurred
to
me.
D
I
I
hear
the
lack
of
availability
of
additional
buses
and
drivers,
but
there
might
be
another
solution
that
could
be
part
of
the
mix.
It's
clearly
not
going
to
to
solve
every
problem,
but
what
I
want
to
say
is
that
it
used
to
be
the
case
on
the
on
the
e2
bus,
the
e2
bus
would
frequently
get
behind,
and
so
the
city,
the
transit
center,
would
frequently
send
out
a
car
to
pick
people
up
who
needed
to
go
into
hawk
creek,
and
it
was
pretty.
D
It
was
a
pretty
creative
solution
and
they
did
that
so
that
the
e2
could
catch
up
time
and
not
have
to
go
through
hall
creek.
D
So
what
occurred
to
me
is-
I
was
thinking
about
this
problem
with
the
170,
if
the,
if
the
city
had
and
I'm
going
to
say,
it's
like
one
of
the
smaller
buses
that
probably
with
social
distancing,
could
only
handle
four
or
five
people,
but
if
you
knew
that
you
had
had
had
left
four
or
five
people
at
spruce
hill
and
there,
and
that
bus
doesn't
come
again
for
two
hours
and
the
fact
that
we
are
now
at
an
all-time
high
for
the
number
of
drivers
that
we
have
hired.
D
It
would
seem
to
me
that
there
might
be
an
opportunity
to
at
least
strategically
address
some
issues
when
a
large
number
of
people
is
left
behind,
like
it's
bruce
hill
and
to
send
a
smaller
bus
with
what
might
be
an
available
driver.
At
least
there
used
to
be
more
drivers
available
because
they
could
send
at
least
it
was
always
it
was
a
driver.
It
was
often
kyle.
I
think
kyle
is
one
of
the
supervisors.
D
D
But
let
me
just
see
if
that's
one
one
way
to
address
this
problem
with
pass.
Pass-Ups
is
not
necessarily
to
have
again
a
whole
dedicated
route.
But
if
you
know
that
someone
is
left
behind-
and
you
know
they're
going
to
be
there
for
an
hour
or
two
hours,
if
you
could
strategically
send
a
vehicle
to
help
them
because
we
used
to
do
that
I'll,
stop.
F
I
was
about
to
say
that
we
only
have
11
minutes
to
go.
I
mean
it's
4,
49
and
meeting
ends
at
5.
B
Because
of
the
these
meetings
tend
to
take
longer,
so
I
think
we're
slotted
till
5
30.
is
that
right?
Yes,.
J
Harvey,
I
think,
that's
the
discussion
we
can
have
with
the
city.
They
would
have
to
purchase
another
vehicle.
We
don't
want
to
haul
four
passengers
in
the
car
with
a
supervisor,
so
I
think
those
are
discussions
they
can
talk
about
and
and
see
if
there's
a
way
to
come
up
with.
You
know
another
type
of
vehicle
to
take
care
of
that.
G
So
I
just
recently
spent
some
time
in
little
rock
arkansas
and
they
have
that
exact
service
as
part
of
their
system.
It
was
a
minivan
and
it
was
almost
like
an
uber
kind
of
basis
like
if
there
was
someone
who
was
in
between
routes
and
needed
a
one-off.
G
They
had
a
system
to
dispatch
a
smaller
vehicle
to
those
connector
routes
and
get
people
to
where
they
could
catch
buses
again
or
even
to
their
destination.
So
if
we
could
I'd
be
happy
to
do
a
little
research
and
send
a
link
to
that
little
rock
model,
so
we
could
see
how
it
works
in
practice.
It
was
something
that
was
really
cool
for
me
to
use.
K
G
So
yes,
there's
always-
and
I
certainly
don't
mean
to
detract
and
take
away
from
the
the
transit
master
plan-
I'm
certainly
not
trying
to
get
ahead
of
myself.
You
know
funding
the
master
plan
and
just
best
use
of
resources.
Right
now
is
certainly
my
goal,
but
for
future,
because
that's
the
way,
funding
and
grants
and
sales
work
is
you've
got
to
keep
new
revenue
sources
going.
So
as
we
move
forward,
I
think,
looking
at
again,
partnerships
and
ways
to
have
more
more
buses
on
the
road.
G
More
resources
for
the
community
is
is
the
best
and
the
more
support
we
can
give
barry
and
his
team.
In
terms
of
you
know
the
system,
the
and
then
yeah.
B
You,
I
think,
the
next
agenda
item,
unless
anyone
has
anything
else
on
that,
is
I
just
we're
looking
for
an
update,
I
know
the
city
has
lost
a
couple
staff
members.
So
if
y'all
have
any
updates
on
that,
I
know
it's
hard
to
get
anything
done.
The
city
is
low
on
staff.
K
Yeah
in
early
december,
we
lost
two
staff
members
masala
that
you,
I
believe,
almost
everyone
on
the
on
the
team.
I
know
her.
She
has
been
doing
a
lot
of
the
transit
planning
and
everything
and
she
got
a
new
opportunity,
and
so
she
is
no
longer
with
the
city.
K
K
K
So
we
continue
to
advertise
that
position.
The
second
position
that
we
lost
is
the
grants
coordinator
position,
and
this
position
is
the
person
who
is
the
lead
in
terms
of
managing
grants.
You
know
working
with
various
departments
in
the
city,
the
financial
aspect
of
grants
and
everything,
and
she
also
left
in
early
december.
K
We
are
currently
looking
at
that
position
in
terms
of
duties
and
responsibilities
and
basically,
hopefully,
in
the
next
several
days
a
week,
we
are
going
to
advertise
that
position
and
see
what
comes
our
way.
So
that's
a
quick
summary
of
what
we're
doing
based
on
the
stuff
we've
lost.
K
D
B
I
would
just
say
this
since
we
have
so
many
new
committee
members,
but
like
a
really
fully
staffed
up
city
team
is
critical
and
they
it
used
to
pretty
much
just
be
one
person.
I
don't
know
I
mean
I
guess
there
was
always
the
grants
person
as
well,
but
it's
definitely
in
the
interest
of
transit
to
encourage
and
support
a
full
functioning
city
staff
and
in
the
past,
even
I
think,
tc.
The
transit
committee
has
advocated
for
funding
more
city
staff.
B
B
I
think
the
next
thing
is
actually
this
presentation
on
potential
service
changes
that
I
think
marcella
is
going
to
do
after
five.
So
maybe
we
can
hold
on
that
for
now,
I'm
assuming
she's
not
joined
us
yet
right.
B
Okay,
well,
do
you
maybe
we
can
just
go
on
to
the
department
updates
the
transit
update
memo
eunice?
If
you
want
to
speak
to
that
and.
K
I
think
the
report
on
the
update
I
provided
for
december
probably
is
more
than
what
we
normally
do,
so
I
just
wanted
to
find
out
from
members.
If
anyone
has
questions,
what
I
tried
to
do
is
incorporate,
based
on
the
medium
we
had
with
thomas
on
the
on
setting
the
agenda,
take
a
look
at
all
the
items
that
we
discussed
and
provide
an
update
as
to
what
is
happening
so
there's
a
quick,
a
very
quick
update
on
the
division
budget.
What
is
happening?
K
I
know
city
council
has
a
schedule
out
as
to
what
they
plan
on
doing
the
next
several
months,
and
I
can
provide
a
copy
of
that
to
members
if
needed.
I
also
provided
an
update
on
kovit
19
in
terms
of
signage.
You
know
messaging
what
we're
doing
to
get
the
word
out.
I
provided
information
on
mask
distribution
and
the
dispensers
and
a
partnership
with
ratp
data.
K
What
I
also
provided
an
update
to
the
art,
translation
improvement
project.
Everything
is
completed,
except
for
the
public,
art
and
digital
signage,
and
I
provided
a
quick
update
as
to
what
is
happening.
Bus
stop
improvement
project
that
is
really
on
hold
right
now,
due
to
staffing
shortage
in
the
planning,
transit
planning
division.
K
However,
if
there
are
any
questions
or
people
want
to
know,
information
want
to
have
more
information
about
that.
We
can
definitely
do
so
vehicles,
as
we
have
been
doing
for
the
last
several
months.
We've
provided
information
on
six
buses
that
we
have
on
order.
The
full
vicinity
that
was
ordered
in
I
want
to
say.
K
In
2019,
production
was
stopped
because
of
kovit
19.
However,
they
continued
to
work
on
that
and
then
in
august
of
2020.
We
also
ordered
two
more
gillig
bustles
production
for
the
gillette
bus,
as
I
understand
is
going
to
start
in
mail
this
year.
K
K
That
is,
that
I
used
on
the
buses
as
well
as
the
handheld
buses,
I'm
sorry
radios
and
basically,
we've
ordered
those
radios
they
are
here.
I
know
barry
and
his
staff
are
working
with
the
company
to
develop
a
schedule
to
install
the
radios
on
all
the
buses.
So
it's
a
quick
update
to
members.
K
The
other
project
that
we
are
working
on
is
bus
list
and
basically,
those
are
used
for
maintaining
and
repairing
the
buses
if
there
is
a
tool
or
equipment
or
something
that
needs
to
be
replaced
on
the
buses.
This
is
what
is
used.
K
K
The
other
thing
that
is
new
to
the
report
is
we're
also
working
with
swiftly.
This
is
a
company
that
we
work
with
on
the
gps
tracking
that
we
have
on
the
buses,
hey,
there's
missiles,
and
so
we
continue
to
work
on
that
right
now.
As
part
of
that
project,
we
were
going
to
get
some
tablas
for
installation
on
the
buses.
K
We
have
those
in
place,
we're
working
with
it
to
program
them
with
the
apps
and
we're
also
testing
out
or
going
to
test
out
mountain
equipment
to
be
able
to
mount
the
tablets
on
the
bus,
so
that
that
is
just
a
snapshot
of
some
of
the
projects
that
we're
working
on,
and
I
also
provided
a
quick
update
on
the
various
grants.
K
Transit
grants
that
we
use
in
terms
of
ongoing
work
activities
with
the
federal
transit
administration
as
well
as
nc
dot
in
terms
of
what's
going
on,
as
well
as
the
mpo
last,
but
not
the
least.
We
also
continue
to
work
on
the
maintenance
garage
feasibility
study.
K
The
timeline
has
been
extended
a
little
bit,
so
we
anticipate
hopefully
completing
that
study
by
march
of
this
year,
and
so
we
will
continue
to
provide
updates
as
well
and
then
I'm
sure
some
of
you
may
have
participated
in
the
regional
transit
feasibility
study
in
terms
of
the
virtual
meeting
that
took
place.
K
But
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
guys
know
that
the
consultant
firm
working
on
the
project
or
the
study
have
been
talking
to
other
transit
systems
in
the
nation,
one
in
texas
and
one
also
in
north
carolina
and
they
plan
on
talking
to
other
systems
in
the
state,
as
well
and
in
seattle
area,
and
so
the
next
report
will
provide
updates
to
that.
K
B
M
Okay,
all
right
cool,
hi,
everyone.
Let
me
pull
up
this
presentation.
M
Okay,
so
this
presentation
is
a
little
bit
of
potential
service
changes,
but
also
a
look
back
at
the
improvements
that
has
been
made
from
fiscal
year
or
not
fiscal
year
from
2019
to
2020.
So
we
can
really
see
the
difference
now
that
the
january
2020
service
change
made
on
the
asheville
rides
transit
system.
M
So,
as
you
all
mostly
know,
and
actually
everyone,
everyone
probably
knows.
I
hope,
after
all,
that
marketing
that
we
implemented
a
service
change
on
january
5th
to
improve
the
on-time
performance
of
the
system
and
as
well
improve
frequency
on
key
corridors,
and
this
service
change
resulted
in
some
pretty
incredible
on-time
performance
improvements
averaging
to
about
70
percent
for
all
routes.
M
M
It's
possible
that
changing
the
schedules
could
be
looked
at
in
the
future
as
a
lower
cost
way
of
improving
on-time
performance
without
incurring
additional
service
charges,
since
that's
really
what's
expensive,
so
the
methodology
swiftly's
on-time
performance
tools
are
really
powerful
for
this.
M
So
back
when
I
first
started
in
2018,
the
city
was
piloting
swiftly
and
now
we've
had
to
about
two
whole
years
with
them,
and
this
allows
us
to
look
back
at
our
on-time
performance
information
and
then
recently
we
invested
in
the
runtimes
module,
which
essentially
allows
the
swiftly
platform
to
use
all
of
our
data
collected
over
the
past
year
and
provide
suggestions
on
what
our
schedule
can
be.
M
So
what
I
did
based
on
our
contracted
goal
with
ritp
dev
is
recommended
that
routes
that
are
still
experiencing
less
than
72
on
time.
Performance
are
recommended
to
be
reviewed
and,
as
you
must
mentioned
earlier,
I'm
with
the
city
in
a
part-time
capacity.
M
So
I'm
helping
develop
these
schedules
so
that
when
there
is
staffing
capacity,
we
can
look
at
changing
the
schedule.
So
that's
what
this
presentation
is
about
so
ralph's
success
factory
on
time,
performance
route.
N3
is
the
first
one.
So,
as
you
can
see
here
in
2019.
I
M
Looking
at
about
69
percent
on
time
performance
and
that's
improved
to
82
percent,
which
is
incredible-
and
I
don't
know
making
all
of
these-
these
pie
charts
definitely
felt
nice
to
see
that
all
of
the
changes
recommended
in
that
first
year
of
the
transit
master
plan
made
a
huge
difference.
M
I
think
the
biggest
takeaway
is
that
early
departures
are
a
continuing
issue,
but
the
great
thing
about
early
departures
is
that
those
are
a
lot
easier
to
control
than
late
so
route
n4
was
experiencing
about
68
on
time
performance
and
is
now
soaring
at
78
percent
route
and
five,
and
also
to
be
fair
on
this
comparison,
route
n
was
broken
out
throughout
n4
and
n5.
M
So
it's
a
conglomeration
of
the
two
routes,
so
route
and
five
was
experiencing
68
on
time
performance
and
now
is
it
81,
and
we
see
that
trend
of
the
earlies
increasing
just
slightly
more
route.
W1
was
late,
almost
half
of
the
time
and
now
we're
seeing
it
thriving
at
79
percent
route.
W5
was
at
67
and
it's
now
sitting
right
at
72
and
then
route
w6.
M
This
is
a
new
route,
so
it
doesn't
have
a
comparison
to
last
year,
but
one
of
the
goals
of
implementing
route
w-6
was
to
have
a
dedicated
route
to
serve
his
give
you
apartments
to
improve
the
on-time
performance
for
route
w1
and
route
w-2,
and
that
definitely
was
the
case
for
w1
route.
S4
was
sitting
at
67
percent
and
is
now
74.
M
And
actually
I
want
to
point
out
that
oh
can
I
go
back
there.
We
go
that
the
lates
are
at
25,
which
is
still
a
pretty
significant
amount,
but
hold
on
to
that
fact.
Later
in
the
presentation.
When
we
start
talking
about
the
service
change
route,
s5
was
at
63
percent
and
is
now
sitting
at
about
73.
M
And
this
leads
to
the
routes
recommended
for
review,
so
all
of
these
routes
are
sitting
under
72,
which
is
what
we
have
in
the
contract
as
our
goal
with
ritp
deaf
so
route
n1
saw
a
small
improvement
from
70
to
71,
but
is
just
under
that
threshold
route
and
two
is
at
65
and
saw
a
slight
improvement
to
about
68.
M
M
Route
we2
is
sitting
at
about
70
and
then
it's
the
former
route
w3
and
e2,
which
was
not
doing
so
hot
route.
W
3
was
at
47
on
time,
performance
and
e2
was
at
62,
so
that
is
also
quite
an
improvement.
After
interlining
those
two
routes,
route
w-2
saw
an
improvement
from
54
55
on
time
to
70.
M
S1
is
it
66?
Was
it
66
and
now?
Is
it
67
so
again,
another
slight
improvement.
We
see
that
a
lot
of
those
late
departures
turn
into
early
again
great
news
that
earlies
can
be
controlled
a
lot
easier
than
late.
As
we
all
know,
asheville
traffic
can
be
route.
S2
was
the
only
route
that
actually
performed
a
little
bit
worse,
quite
a
bit
worse
from
71
to
58,
and
this
is
because
of
early
departures,
and
I
think
this
is
something
that
this
schedule,
enhancement
can
definitely
control.
M
Since
the
tunnel,
road
corridor
can
be
quite
unpredictable,
but
once
you
get
the
kennel
where
things
start
to
settle
out
just
a
bit
route,
s3
was
it
61
in
2019.
It
is
now
sitting
at
about
68.
M
And
the
things
that
changed
with
these
routes,
for
example,
route
170,
used
to
not
serve
hawk
creek,
and
now
it
does
so.
I
think,
having
an
entire
year's
worth
of
data
with
the
actual
route
alignment
changes
will
allow
city
staff
to
make
decisions
on
how
to
tweak
these
time
points
and
fine-tune
them
into
the
future
and
be
able
to
make
sure
that
the
schedules
are
working.
M
So,
like
I
mentioned
earlier,
I've
been
using
swiftly's
runtimes
module
to
use
their
data
data
analysis
tools
to
enhance
the
schedules
and
really
look
at
what
pain
points
we're
hitting
along
the
route
and
how
we
can
add
time
or
take
time
away
to
ensure
that
we're
getting
the
maximum
amount
of
on
time.
10
points.
M
So
the
first
route
that
I
looked
at
is
route
w-2.
M
So
this
first
row
is
the
current
time
table
and
the
second
is
what
swiftly
suggests
and
if
you
take
a
look
at
it,
it's
cutting
some
time
from
the
outbound
trucks,
the
asheville
outlets,
but
then
adding
time
once
we.
M
Return
sorry
backwards
if
adding
time
going
out
to
the
outlets
as
traffic
on
bluebird
road
can
be
a
little
wild
and
then
cutting
some
time
on
the
way
back.
So
from
this
analysis,
what
I'm
suggesting
is
that
the
time
point
at
brevard,
road
and
haywood
road
be
removed,
because
it's
really
close
to
haywood
road
at
louisiana
avenue
and
then
adding
additional
times
layover
at
the
asheville
outlet,
because
it's
a
safe
place
for
the
bus
to
wait
and.
M
The
outlets
are
a
big
destination
for
jobs
and
as
well
for
shopping
and
folks,
going
out
to
the
blue
ridge
parkway
so
certain
times
of
the
year
we
can
see
increased
traffic
and
this
will
help
operators
be
able
to
adhere
to
the
schedule
without
feeling
rushed
going
to
their
next
time
point,
but
also
not
leaving
so
much
time
that
you
know
some
of
the
complaints
that
I
remember
seeing
in
the
log
is
you
know
this
bus
is
sitting
at
this
layover
spot
for
20
minutes.
M
M
So
the
third
thing
that
I
looked
at
was
cleaning
up
cleaning
up
time
points,
so
one
major
bus
stop
on
haywood
road
is
the
ingles
at
louisiana
avenue,
and
these
times
611
639
628
they're
kind
of
weird
they're
kind
of
hard
to
remember.
M
So
another
example
that
I
looked
at
was
the
n1
and
n2.
M
So
when
we
were
running
these
schedules
back
in
january,
not
in
january,
in
the
summer
of
2019,
we
were
running
the
schedules
on
peak
traffic
hours,
which
is
great
to
make
sure
that
we
have
enough
time
on
these
routes,
but
not
great
in
the
sense
that
we
have
a
lot
of
earlies,
because
we're
planning
for
the
worst
case
scenario.
M
So
what
swiftly
allows
us
to
do
is
to
see
individual
time
points
that
are
too
loose
so
for
this
example,
with
the
n1,
we
had
originally
scheduled
the
bus
to
arrive
at
merriman
avenue
at
hillside
street
at
609,
but
in
reality
the
bus
leaves
early
from
that
time.
Point
because
there's
not
a
place
for
it
to
lay
down,
and
it
gets
there
within
five
minutes
so
swiftly.
Suggestion
is
to
cut
four
minutes
off
of
that
and
we'll
see
an
improved
on-time
performance.
M
M
So
another
thing
that
was
interesting
about
route
n1
is
that
swiftly
at
the
end,
suggested
that
the
bus
should
arrive
at
the
art
station
at
6,
50
or
10
50
on
the
hour
10
before
it
leaves
a
10
minute
layover
time,
and
if
you
recall
earlier,
the
s4
was
running
late
about
25
of
the
time
and
n1
n2
and
s4
are
all
interlined,
so
this
tool
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
revisit
those
inner
lines
browse
and
whether
we
can
give
time
from
route
n1
to
s4
to
make
sure
that
it's
on
time.
M
So
this
is
an
example
of
what
swiftly's
dashboard
looks
like.
I
know
you
guys
see
the
monthly
on-time
performance
reports
for
the
entire
system
and
the
routes,
but
we
can
actually
get
into
a
pretty
granular
level
of
data.
So
this
is
what
I
was
talking
about
at
mary
minute:
hillside
the
bus
is
arriving,
49.1
percent
of
the
time
early
and
this
bus
stop
here
mayor
minute.
Stratford
road
is
late,
60.5
percent
of
time,
so
adding
that
time
later
in
the
time
table
would
help
accommodate
that
and
improve
our
overall
performance.
M
So
route
into
it's
more
of
the
same,
and
I
think
what
I
wanted
to
make
the
point
of
here
is
that
the
bus
typically
gets
back
19
minutes
after
the
hour,
and
that
leaves
about
11
minutes
of
labor
time.
Then
again
making
that
argument
that
route,
n1
and
route
n2
have
about
10
minutes
where
they're
sitting
at
the
station
and
maybe
five
minutes
of
that
time
can
be
transferred
over
to
the
s4.
To
stop
that
that
25
late
five
point
arrival
and
what
I
was
saying
earlier
about
cleaning
up
time
points.
M
I
think
john
rideau
brought
up
that
the
unci
students
were
having
a
hard
time
remembering
when
the
bus
came,
because
there
were
awkward
times
like
13
after
and
38
after.
So
this
is
another
place
where
we
can
add
a
couple
of
minutes
and
create
these
even
timetables
where
you
know
that
if
you
want
to
go
to
north
asheville
from
unca,
the
bus
will
arrive,
15
after
and
then
45
after
so
other
points
of
interest
to
clean
up.
M
I
was
thinking
the
tunnel
wrote
an
angle
since
it
served
four
route
us-70
at
the
vrq
blue
tree
boulevard
at
walmart
and
mcdowell
street
at
lodge
street.
Just
due
to
the
fact
that
these
are
high,
ridership
stops
and
also
transfer
points.
So
it
would
create
a
better
experience
for
people,
and
I
personally
agree
that.
H
M
A
lot
easier
to
remember
so
this
is
a
summary
of
the
routes
that
are
recommended
to
monitor
for
a
future
service
change,
and
it
shows
whether
they're,
mostly
early
or
mostly
late,
and
we
went
over
all
of
these
routes,
but
as
a
refresher
route,
n1
n2,
w
e1,
w
w2,
s1,
s2,
s3
and
170
are
recommended
for
revision
in
the
future.
M
M
Having
time
points
that
are
major
transfer
points
and
high
ridership
stops
be
a
little
bit
easier
to
remember
when
there's
multiple
buses
serving
the
same
stock
and
also
runtime
provides
an
opportunity
to
explore
realigning
routes
or
having
time
divided
up
different
routes
to
improve
on-time
performance.
D
Yeah
one
comment:
one
question:
first
of
all,
yes,
the
january
5th
changes
have
been
confirmed
by
writers
that
they've
really
improved
things.
I'm
incredibly
impressed
with
this
presentation,
I'm
wondering,
even
if
you
have
all
of
the
data,
could
you
actually
run
the
new
time
points
on
last
year's
data
and
actually
tell
what
if
we
had
run
the
new
time
points,
what
the
what's
the
the
earlies
and
rates
would
look
like.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
that
level
of
of
control
of
your
data.
M
I'm
not
sure,
because
I
think
what
what
this
program
does
is.
It
takes
our
gtfx,
which
is
the
google
transit
feed
specification,
so
all
of
the
coding
that
goes
to
google
into
all
of
the
apps
that
we
use
and
it
records
what
the
time
points
were.
So
in
2019
we
had
a
lot
more
time
points
than
we
do
in
2020.
M
I'll
be
in
town
I'll,
see
you
guys
around
town
there
at
the
transfer
station,
although
I've
been
trying
not
to
ride
because
of
the
the
passenger
element,
but
I'll
be
around
until
july,
so
always
reach
out.
B
I
think
the
only
thing
we
haven't
gotten
to
is
the
operations
updates.
Maybe
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
reports
in
there,
but
since
we
only
have
a
couple
minutes,
if
folks
have
specific
questions
or
concerns,
I
know
jeff.
I
think
you
mentioned
you
had
something,
but
maybe
we
can
just
jump
right
to
that.
D
D
I
have
a
question
for
barry,
barry
do
do,
can
can
swiftly,
tell
us
and
and
both
were
inconclusive
in
the
customer
complaint
section
they
they
couldn't
conclude
whether
or
not
the
bus
was
running
too
fast
or
not,
and
it
occurred
to
me
that
swiftly
might
be
able
to
tell
us
very
easily,
because
normally
the
the
speed
limit
is
readily
available.
J
D
J
No,
it
is
much,
but
we
can
absolutely
pull
that
video
and
get
that
information
and
or
pull
it
out
of
swift
and
get
that
information
on
speed
of
the
bus
absolutely
and
on
both
of
these
instances
the
reported
times
the
bus
was
not
speeding.
So
I
don't
know
if
it
was
the
situation
of
it
really:
hey.
Listen!
A
bus
going
25
mile
per
hour
on
kenilworth,
looks
like
a
bus
going
really
fast
if
you're
standing
next
to
that
road.
D
I
Did
we
concluded
that
it
was
no
buses
speeding,
but
because
we
get
that
not
only
in
kenworth,
we
get
it
in
shiloh
on
white
avenue,
especially
we
have
in
the
past
that
the
bus
is
speeding
up
and
down
white
avenue,
but
when
we
run
the
playback,
the
the
sound
of
the
engine
sounds
like
the
bus
is
going
fast,
but
they're
not
going
fast.
Okay,
so
I
did
want
to
make
sure
that
the
operators
are
cautious
of
their
speed,
although
in
kenworth
with
the
traffic
control,
there
is
no
way
the
bus
can
speed
through.
H
B
F
I
never
got
an
answer
back
on
the
bus
passes
for
the
year.
Maybe
staff
can
answer
that
question
today.
I
I
am
waiting
on
the
list,
the
number
that
I
need
to
give
out,
so
I
think
that's
what
we're
waiting
on.
F
Okay,
that's
all
good
chuckling.
Where
are
the
passes
going
to
be?
Are
you
going
to
have
them
at
the
station?
Are
you
going
to
send
them
out
or
whatever.
I
F
Wondering
because
it's
getting
closer
closer
time
for
me
to
get
my
vaccine
they're
coming
into
my
age
group,.
F
Okay
and
then
the
next
thing
I
want.
I
brought
this
up
time,
time
and
time
again
in
2019,
so
2020
we've
been
a
lackadaisical
state,
but
I
was
the
only
one
back
in
july
of
19
and
july
august,
19
and
august
of
2019.
F
We
need
to
get
back
to
where
we
need
to
be
as
far
as
advancing
racial
equality,
equity
and
it
was
on
the
agenda
back
in
2019
and
we
need
to
put
it
back
on
the
agenda
so
whenever
we
do
get
back
together,
advancing
racial
equity,
101
and
advancing
racial
equity
equity
201
need
to
be
put
back
on
for
people
to
get
into
the
class
because
I
took
it,
it
was
both
the
classes
they
were
phenomenal
and,
in
light
of
all
of
the
commotion,
that's
been
going
on
and
I
call
it
rioting
and
demonstrations.
A
I
want
to
let
you
know
that
today
was
the
deadline
for
the
transit
annual
passes,
and
I
submitted
everyone's
name
that
had
asked
to
be
on
the
list
to
get
an
annual
pass.
A
So
after
the
list
is
submitted
to
ratpdev,
you
should
be
receiving
a
pass.
F
And,
like
I
said,
that's
advancing
racial
equity.
We
definitely
need
that
in
our.
D
D
I
don't
I
just
don't
know
where
that
stands,
but
I
know
we
advocated
and
requested
that
at
some
point
in
the
past-
and
I
don't
know
where
that
stands.
The
second
thing
is
that
I
think,
thomas
with
your
departure
from
the
transit
committee.
We
now
have
three
openings,
so
there
may
be
an
opportunity
for
some
applicants
advertised
for
more
people
for
the
transit
committee.
D
Listen
not
there
dana,
not
there
and
with
thomas's
departure.
We
may
have
a
need
for
three.
That's
all
for
me.
K
D
E
Well,
I
have
the
avenue
real
fast.
My
men's
group,
black
men's
monday,
is
focused
on
feeding
children
over
the
weekend,
so
if
you
could
think
of
any
children
in
our
areas
that
probably
aren't
being
fed
because
they're
not
making
it
to
school,
please
reach
out
to
me
and
let
me
know
thank
you.
