A
Our
folks
need
to
head
out
for
work
as
people
start
to
travel
more
and
rebecca,
and
her
team
at
the
airport,
with
our
economic
development
team
and
partners
throughout
the
community,
are
working
hard
to
create
an
incentive
program
that
will
deliver
the
flights
that
we
need
to
get
people
where
they
need
to
go.
So
thanks,
rebecca
for
joining
us
today,.
C
So
I
recently
had
an
opportunity
to
meet
with
council
member
sanchez
and
she
started
our
conversation
by
asking
me
what
were
the
three
things
that
she
should
know
about
the
airport.
You
know
very
broad
strokes
more
than
anything
else,
and
I
think
the
three
things
are
that,
yes,
the
pandemic
has
been
challenging,
but
because
of
the
foundation
that
we
have
at
the
boise
airport,
both
fiscally
and
operationally,
as
well
as
with
our
team,
our
foundation
is
strong
and
so
we're
positioned
to
come
out
of
this
pandemic.
C
Well,
we
will
continue
to
grow
based
on
growth
in
the
treasure
valley,
and
we
all
know
that
boise
is
growing
rapidly,
but
we
are
growing
rapidly
with
boise,
but
also
with
cuna
and
star
and
meridian
and
nampa
and
all
of
the
other
surrounding
towns.
We
are
their
airport,
so
our
growth
will
be
compounded,
and
so,
in
order
to
meet
that
growth,
we
need
to
continue
to
invest
in
the
airport
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
community
and
we
need
to
continue
to
invest
in
our
team.
C
So
we
have
the
right
people
doing
the
right
things
at
the
right
time.
This
is
probably
not
a
surprise
to
any
one
of
you,
but
the
boise
metro
area
continues
to
grow
significantly
faster
than
all
most
other
areas
in
the
country
and
we're
continued
to
project
a
continued
projected
growth
through
2030
of
about
21.
C
That
information
is
courtesy
of
the
boise
valley,
economic
partnership
and,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
we've
had
some
exciting
announcements
recently
and
if
you'd
asked
me
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
if
I
thought,
2021
would
bring
new
air
service
announcements
on
the
heels
of
a
decrease
in
passengers
of
about
50
percent.
My
answer
would
have
been
probably
not.
C
However,
in
2020
we
had
a
number
of
new
announcements
and
I
won't
read
them
all
to
you,
because
you
can
all
read,
but
we
added
a
significant
amount
of
service
and
what
we're
seeing
is
that
the
airlines
are
changing,
how
they're
evaluating
routes
and
the
pandemic
has
created
new
opportunities
where
business
travel
has
decreased.
C
Never
had
non-stop
service
to
new
york
and
not
only
is
new
york
an
amazing
destination,
but
it
also
is
a
hub
and
it
allows
us
to
bring
in
a
new
carrier.
So
it's
a
trifecta
and
we
can't
talk
about
the
airport
without
talking
about
our
fiscal
responsibility,
and
so
I
just
want
to
go
over
a
couple
of
things.
C
We
still
finished
the
year
with
a
1.2
net
operating
income
and
we
had
about
19
million
dollars
of
cares,
funding,
10.6
million
we
have
used
and
drawn
down
in
2020
and
we'll
have
8.2
million
to
draw
down
in
2021,
and
now
most
recently,
we
received
an
additional
allocation
of
6.3
million
in
the
latest
round
of
funding,
and
one
of
the
reasons
that
boise
continues
to
be
attractive.
In
addition
to
our
growing
economy
and
the
fact
that
we're
a
great
destination
is
boise
is
an
affordable
airport
for
airlines
to
operate.
C
So
it's
easy
for
them
for
easier.
I
should
say
it's
not
easy,
I'm
sure
they
would
tell
you
it's
not
easy
to
start
service
to
a
new
city,
but
it's
easier
to
start
service
to
boise
and
all
other
things
being
equal
are
competitive.
Cost
advantage
makes
us
a
more
attractive
place
to
add
service
than
other
destinations.
C
C
Passengers
were
down
6
52
compared
to
2019.
I
think
nationally.
Passengers
were
down
over
60
percent,
so
this
brings
us
to
our
air
service
incentive
program
and
we
wanted
to
update
our
air
service
incentive
program.
Recognizing
that
recruiting
new
air
service
is
going
to
be
more
challenging,
of
course,
post
pandemic,
because
that
presents
its
own
challenges,
but
also
because
the
places
where
we're
recruiting
air
service
to
are
now
further
away.
C
They're,
you
know,
we've
we
have
service
to
most
of
our
top
20
destinations,
and
so
we
want
to
recognize
that
the
the
service
ahead
is
going
to
be
harder
to
obtain.
We
also
want
to
differentiate
markets,
meaning
not
all
markets
are
created,
the
same
all
air
service.
Pretty
much
is
great
air
service
and
we're
excited
to
have
it,
but
new
york
is
a
far
more
attractive
destination
than
paynefield
and
seattle.
C
C
And
then
we
also
have
identified
interest
state
connectivity
as
a
priority
for
our
community,
recognizing
that
boise
is
the
capital
of
this
state
and
that
significant
business
relies
on
that
intra-state
connectivity,
and
these
are
the
state,
the
cities
that
we've
identified
as
potential
target
markets,
and
I
apologize
if
this
is
a
little
bit
small.
Hopefully
you
had
an
opportunity
to
review
this
in
your
packet
and
I
will
not
read
it
to
you
word
for
word:
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions
but
really
we've.
C
I
we've
divided
the
incentives
into
a
couple
of
different
segments:
first,
a
incentive
for
a
new
airline
and
then
seasonal
service,
both
target
market
and
just
a
regular
unserved
market,
and
then
year-round
target
market
and
year-round
unserved
seasonal,
so
really
trying
to
differentiate
between
the
types
of
services
that
would
be
introduced
and
also
again
providing
that
incentive
for
new
airlines.
D
C
Yes,
they
do
stack
because
again
recognizing
it's
easier
for
an
existing
airline,
so,
for
example,
for
alaska
or
southwest
or
one
of
our
other
carriers,
it's
easier
for
them
to
add
a
new
route
than
it
is
to
bring
a
whole
new
operation
to
boise.
So
we
want
to
incentivize
the
market,
but
we
also
want
to
incentivize
the
potential
for
new
airline,
but
keep
in
mind
four
carriers
control
about
80
percent
of
all
domestic
passenger
travel
in
the
u.s,
and
today
we
have
eight
airlines
in
boise.
C
So
that
tells
you
that
there's
really
not
that
many
additional
new
carriers
that
we
could
recruit
and
I
would
note
that
the
incentive
does
not
start
until
a
carrier
has
served
our
market
for
90
days.
So
the
some
of
the
new
service
that
we're
seeing
that's
only
60
days
in
duration
does
not
currently
qualify
for
this
and
they've
decided
to
come
to
boise
anyway.
So
this
is
something
that
tips
the
scale
in
our
favor.
It's
not
probably
going
to
be
a
deciding
factor
for
an
airline.
C
All
right
and
then,
while
I
have
you
here,
I
did
want
to
talk
about
our
boi
upgrade
program.
We
talked
about
it
quite
a
bit
in
2019
2020,
we
paused
on
a
number
of
projects,
but,
as
you
recall,
we
have
a
200
million
dollar
upgrade
program
that
we're
starting
to
embark
on,
and
that
project
is
still
those
projects
are
still
continuing
to
move
forward.
So
the
very
first
step
is
the
relocation
of
the
idaho
transportation
department
hanger.
C
It's
currently
located
adjacent
to
the
parking
garage,
and
we
have
built
and
constructed
a
new
hangar
on
the
south
side,
which
is
accessed
from
gowan
road
over
near
sky
west.
So
that
is
the
first
step
is
relocating
the
tenants
from
the
existing
hangar
to
the
new
hangar.
So
we
can
use
that
space
for
a
future
car
rental
facility.
C
C
That
is
there
for
as
a
lactation
room,
this
will
create
a
more
permanent
room
and
also
one
that
has
running
water
and
electricity,
and
then
the
service
area
service,
animal
relief
area
will
also
go
in
that
area.
As
you
come
through.
Security
screening
right
on
the
right
where
that
existing
mamava
pod
is,
is
where
this
will
all
be
going
in
that
area,
and
so
we
did
design
in
2020
and
we
will
do
construction
in
2021.
C
That's
when
we
started
opening
the
economy,
parking
lot
year-round,
and
so,
while
we
were
planning
construction
in
2020
for
the
employee
parking
garage
and
while
we
desperately
needed
it
in
2019,
really
we
were
beyond
capacity
already
in
2018,
so
you
can
see
in
2020
we
projected
50
of
our
passengers
2021.
We
think
we
will
continue
to
grow
and
recover,
potentially
at
65.
C
We
think
that's
fairly
conservative,
we're
hopeful
that
it
will
be
more
than
that,
but
you
we'll
have
to
wait
and
see
how
the
pandemic
develops
and
how
effective
the
vaccines
are.
C
And
so
we
expect
that
by
2022
or
2023
we
will
be
at
the
same
level
of
passenger
emplainments,
that
we
were
at
in
2018,
which
is
really
our
target,
so
recognizing
that
it
takes
multiple
years
to
build
this
type
of
facility.
We're
projecting
an
early
start
of
either
late
summer.
This
year
or
early
fall
for
the
parking
garage.
E
C
Basing
this
on
industry
forecasts
that
are
projecting
that
passenger
travel
will
return
to
2019
levels
by
2023,
and
so
given
what
we
are
seeing
in
the
industry
and
also
and
in
boise,
that
showing
that
we
are
recovering
more
quickly,
our
passenger
travel
did
not
dip
as
significantly
as
what
we
see
nationwide
and
also
we
are
seeing
more
additions
of
air
service
than
what
our
peers
are
seeing.
So
for
those
reasons,
we
think
that
our
recovery
will
most
likely
be
quicker.
But
again
this
is
in
line
with
what
we're
projecting
for
national
forecast.
Friends.
E
Okay,
I
have
a
follow-up.
Madam
mayor
yeah
go
ahead.
Is
that
I
guess
I'm
I
want
to
get
a
little
bit
more
granular
than
that
is
that
thinking
that
business
travel
is
going
to
pick
up.
Is
that
thinking
that
people
are
going
to
be
tired
of
being
cloistered
at
home
and
are
going
to
want
to
travel
for
pleasure?
What?
What
is
that
granular
level
of
projection?
Looking
like.
C
Thank
you
for
those
questions,
so
we're
thinking
that
it
will
take
a
couple
of
years
to
build
the
parking
garage.
We
also
have
to
recognize
that
when
we
do
this
construction,
it
will
actually
remove
an
entire
parking
lot
for
employee
parking
and
it
will
reduce
the
surface
parking
for
public
parking
by
300
spaces.
C
C
The
next
project
that
will
be
completed
will
be
the
car
rental
facility
and
we
are
expecting
that
we'll
be
awarding
these
contracts.
In
march
of
this
year,
we've
gone
through
the
rfp
process
and
this
will
include
the
design
bid
and
construction
services,
and
this
is
the
facility
that
is
going
where
the
existing
itd
hangers
were
the
original
itd
hangers,
I
should
say,
adjacent
to
the
parking
garage
and
that
will
allow
us
to
relocate
all
of
their
car
rentals
into
this
garage.
So
that
way
we'll
be
able
to
expand
the.
C
The
customer
facility
charge
is
which
is
very
similar.
It's
actually
a
fee,
that's
on
your
rental
car
contract
and
those
funds
are
dedicated
to
car
rental
facilities
and
then
airport
revenue
would
be
used
for
projects
that
are
not
eligible
for
one
of
these
other
funding
sources.
But
there
would
be
no
general
fund
dollars
used
on
this
development.
A
F
Thank
you.
Yes,
thank
you,
mayor
mclean,
rebecca
quick
question.
The
employees
are
now
parking
outside
near
the
parking
garage.
You
note
that
the
new
parking
garage
will
take
up.
Much
of
that.
We
had
a
employee
parking
garage
also
scheduled.
Will
they
park
in
the
new
garage
while
the
employee
parking
garage
is
getting
built
or
where
else
will
they
park.
C
So
we
have
multiple
parking
locations
for
employees.
Some
do
park
adjacent
to
the
existing
garage
some
park
in
a
lot,
that's
adjacent
to
the
airfield
and
near
the
car.
Rentals.
The
intent
with
building
the
public
garage
first
is
that
it
will
give
us
maximum
flexibility
and
that
employees
would
be
able
to
park
in
there
if
we
needed
that
additional
space
for
employees,
while
we're
waiting
for
passenger
traffic
to
come
back,
okay
and
while
the
neighborhood
garage
would
be
being
built.
Thank
you.
That's
an
excellent
point.
C
C
A
All
right
next
up,
we
have
a
lot
of
people,
stephen
hi
there
stephen
hunt,
mr
hunt
from
valley,
regional
transit
and
then
on
zoom
and
then
in
the
building.
Here
we
have
both
karen
gallagher
and
bree
brush
to
go
through
with
us,
a
presentation
on
public
transit
and,
if
you'll
remember,
this
is,
and
tonight
we'll
have
a
public
hearing.
But
we
do
this
annually
now
because
of
the
council's
commitment
to
sending
funds
to
vrt
and
what
something
that
we've
asked.
A
Our
team
here
to
do
this
year
is
to
help
us
and
think
about
how
we
make
progress
on
some
of
the
larger
boulder
initiatives,
but
then
also
make
good
on
the
public's
interest
in
one
the
investments
that
we
make,
but
two
the
impact
that
they
should
have
for
the
city
of
boise
and
from
a
fiscal
responsibility
and
transparency
perspective.
So
I
don't
know,
is
mr
hunt
going
first,
you
guys
going
first,
what's:
okay,
great
stephen,
it
sounds
like
your.
Your
plan
is
to
go
first,
so
why
don't
you
go
ahead?
Stephen
from
vrt.
G
Sure,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here.
I'm
gonna
be
sharing
a
presentation,
so
let
me
get
that.
G
G
2020
was
a
challenging
year,
but
we
wanted
to
touch
on
four
points
here.
First
highlights
of
how
we
were
able
to
navigate
the
covert
crisis
and
still
make
progress
on
a
number
of
city
of
boise
priorities
and
how
we
were
able
to
take
advantage
of
the
cares
resources
which
were
made
available
to
us
we'll
touch
on
the
performance
review
of
how
2020
looked
from
a
ridership
and
on-time
performance
perspective
perspective,
and
then
we'll
also
do
a
brief
look
ahead.
G
Both
in
2021
initiatives
as
well
as
farther
out
so
beginning
with
2020,
highlights
the
we
were
able
to
make
several
improvements
on
the
best
in
class
corridor.
So
these
are
our
state
street,
fairview
and
vista,
and
we
were
able
to
improve
saturday
and
evening
services
on
all
of
those
routes
extending
them
to
operate
later
in
into
the
evening
on
state
street
we
expanded
peak
frequencies.
G
That's
part
of
our
ongoing
processes
of
building
out
the
state
street
corridor
and
we
continued
to
coordinate
with
our
state
street
partners
with
the
executive
with
the
executive
team,
where
we
were
able,
which
includes
members
of
the
city
of
boise,
ada,
county
ada,
county
highway,
district
garden
city
eagle,
all
in
an
effort
to
ensure
that
we
again
make
progress
on
building
state
street
into
a
into
a
state
into
a
street
with
heavy
transit
emphasis.
G
Other
initiatives
that
we
were
able
to
complete
this
year
include
beginning
construction
on
the
electric
bus
charging
infrastructure
out
at
the
orchard
facility.
So
that's
something
that
we've
been
pretty
excited
about,
so
bringing
electric
vehicles
to
ada
county
that
those
will
take
delivery
of
the
first
of
those
this
spring
and
we
will
be
we're
in
the
process
right
now
of
completing
the
charging
infrastructure
out
at
orchard.
G
We
were
awarded
2.1
million
in
federal
funds,
competitive
funds
to
expand
and
transition
the
orchard
maintenance
facility
to
accommodate
electric
vehicles,
as
well
as
planned
growth.
We
launched
citigo
to
coordinate
travel
demand
into
downtown
boise.
We
updated
our
our
paper
schedules
to
better
communicate
to
the
public.
G
G
In
addition
to
those
projects,
we
we
did
launch
plan
and
launch
an
on-demand
transit
service
in
canyon,
county
which
is
based
on
providing
trips
to
and
from
different
locations
in
nampa
and
caldwell,
and
those
are
based
are
routed
on
demand.
This
has
been
an
interest
in
the
treasure
valley
for
some
time
to
look
at
alternative
ways
of
delivering
service,
and
so
we
will
be
using
what
we
learned
from
this
project
in
canyon
county
and
how
it
could
be
applied
to
maybe
some
lower
density
or
less
lower
performing
areas
in
ada,
county.
G
In
addition
to
I
mean
the
biggest
thing
of
2020
obviously
was
just
the
impact
of
covet
19
and
that
hit
pretty
hard
about
five
months
into
the
fiscal
year.
We
took
a
number
of
actions
to
keep
the
public
and
the
riding
the
rider
safe.
We
temporarily
closed
main
street
station
and
we
suspended
our
fair
collection
in
order
to
be
able
to
maintain
social
distancing
and
discourage
passenger
driver
interactions.
G
We've
since
installed
screens
there
to
again
keep
to
limit
any
kind
of
transmission
between
operators
and
passengers
also
required
face
mass.
We
increased
vehicle
and
facility
disinfecting,
so
a
lot
more
cleaning
went
on
during
has
gone
on
since
since
kova
began
and
we
launched
remote
working
for
all
all
employees
that
could
do
remote
working
and
we
launched
a
public
safety
safe
travels
campaign,
so
each
bi-weekly
we
would
send
out
newsletters
to
the
public
about
the
what
has
been
going
on
in
public
transit.
G
What
vrt
and
and
our
partners
have
been
doing
to
ensure
that
people
are
able
to
continue
to
get
where
they
need
to
go
during
during
the
covert
crisis.
G
In
addition
to
that,
the
federal
government
passed
the
coronavirus
aid
relief
and
economic
security
act
cares
act
which
included
emergency
funding
for
public
transportation
and
vrt
received
12.9
million.
In
cares
funding
for
transit
services
in
ada
county,
and
we
worked
with
the
vrt
board
to
prioritize
those
funds
to
cover
first
direct
response
to
maintain
current
operations,
and
we
also
looked
at
what
we
could.
What
we
could
do
to
improve
resiliency
of
our
services
and
make
make
transit
more
resilient
to
any
kind
of
pandemic
in
the
future.
G
And
when
we
come,
when
we
look
at
fy
2020
ridership,
we
there
were
a
lot
of
things
going
on.
There
are
four
things
to
keep
in
mind
as
we
go
through
this,
because
it
if
I
were
to
tell
you
that
we
had
1.4
increase
in
ridership
in
fy
2020,
that
that
seems
a
little
counter-intuitive
when,
in
fact,
that
that
is
the
result-
and
there
are
four
four
reasons
for
that
that
I
want
to
speak
to
first,
is
we
covered
it
in
really
in
march?
G
We
get
about
60
percent,
historically
about
60
percent
of
our
ridership
in
the
first
half
of
the
year,
and
in
2020
we
were,
we
were
posting
significant
increases
in
ridership
up
until
covet
hit.
G
The
other
thing
that
was
happening.
Is
we
transitioned
from
using
the
gfi
farebox
as
our
reporting
mechanism
to
using
the
automatic
passenger
counters,
and
it's
been
the
industry-wide.
It's
been
the
experience
that
you
see
between
a
10
and
a
20
increase
in
ridership
as
you
transition
from
the
fare
boxes,
your
ridership
data
source
and
going
to
apcs,
and
so
we
saw
that
as
well.
So
those
were
those
two
things
were
positive
vectors
in
our
ridership
for
2020
and
resulted
in
actually
a
positive
growth
for
the
year.
G
G
G
The
impacts
of
covet
haven't,
haven't,
as
you
all
know,
have
not
gone
away,
and
so,
when
we
look
in
terms
of
when
will
we
see
kind
of
the
bigger
impact
for
ridership,
we
expect
to
see
that
in
our
fy
21
ridership
and
we
would
be
down
anywhere
between
20
and
50
percent.
We
would
expect.
H
Madam
mayor
sure
go
ahead,
thank
you
just
to
clarify
so
the
chart
we're
looking
at
now
with
the
red
from
fiscal
year
19.
that
includes
the
under
count.
G
We
also
saw
that
ridership,
though
kind
of
retract
from
all
parts
of
the
city.
If
we
look
at
this
is
pre-covered
ridership
at
a
stop
level,
and
you
can
see
the
best-in-class
corridors
show
up
there,
the
larger
circles
representing
more
ridership,
and
you
can
see
that
on
state
street
and
on
vista,
and
you
can
see
that
on
fairview
as
well.
Those
three
best-in-class
corridors
are
all
areas
where
we
see
a
lot
of
ridership.
G
The
other
interesting
thing
to
note
about
ridership
that
occurred
during
covid
was
just
the
the
significant
impact
that
it
had
on
peak
ridership,
so
people
traveling
to
and
from
work
when
covet
hit.
We
essentially
typically
you
see
two
peaks
and
a
valley
in
the
middle
of
the
day,
when
you're
looking
at
daily
ridership
and
what
happened
when
when
we
went
through
covet,
is
that
flipped
into
what
just
a
hill,
our
our
highest
ridership
was
in
the
middle
of
the
day,
and
we
saw
that
actually
our
weekend.
G
Ridership
did
not
decline
nearly
as
much
as
our
weekday
ridership,
so
it
there
certainly
was
a
shift
in
terms
of
of
where
we
saw
the
ridership
happening,
and
we
haven't
made
it
out
of
that.
Yet
I
think
our
peak
ridership
is
still
is
still
down
compared
to
where
we
were
before
and,
as
you
all
know,
the
with
the
efforts
to
have
people
work
from
home.
G
G
G
So
we
looked
at
to
get
a
sense
of
how
much
of
this
was
was
driven
by
covid.
We
looked
at
the
on-time
performance
before
march
of
2020
and
compared
that
to
our
2019
ridership
and
what
the
positive
takeaway
there
is.
Even
the
improvement
in
on-time
performance
predated
covid.
We
were
able
to
see
improvements
in
both
the
am
and
the
pm
peak
before
before
covet
and
those
other
changes
which
would
have
had
additional
positive
impacts.
G
First,
there
we'll
be
completing
the
state
street
alternative
analysis
which
we
started
last
year.
We
also
will
be
kicking
off
the
state
street
transit
operational
analysis,
which
will
allow
us
to
look
at
where
get
conceptual
projects
developed
along
state
street
will
be
able
to
build
better
passenger
amenities
along
the
corridor.
Improve
on
time.
Excuse
me
improve
transit
priority
as
well
as
real-time
information
to
passengers.
G
G
Looking
a
little
bit
longer
term
again,
focusing
on
the
best
in
class
corridors
and
beyond.
We
see
our
progress
going
beyond
just
2022
in
terms
of
how
long
it'll
take
us
to
build
out
state
street
and
the
other.
The
other
best
in
class
corridors
will
be
looking
to
improve
all-day
frequencies,
as
we
heard
from
the
public
in
in
last
year's
outreach
and
generally
bringing
more
improvements
to
the
city
of
boise
and
the
valley
with
improved
transit
services.
A
Thanks
steven,
I'm
gonna
ask
okay
great
it
there's
a
little
bit
of
time
for
questions.
Now
I
was
thinking
we
might
do
all
the
questions
at
the
end,
but
bray
and
karen
need
15
minutes.
So
we've
got
a
little
time
for
questions.
I
Now,
madam
mayor,
just
a
quick
question.
I
G
I
And
then,
madam
mayor,
just
a
quick
follow-up,
stephen,
could
you
tell
if
there
was
there
any
data
that
showed
that
not
collecting
fares?
I
know
that
we
did
it
from
a
safety
point
of
view.
Is
there
any
data
that
shows
that
it
encouraged
people
to
use
it
more,
even
though
it
was
a
complicated
time
to
use
public
transit.
G
Madam
mayor
there
yeah
there
is
a.
We
see,
an
increase
in
ridership
when
we
don't
collect
fares.
Yes,.
G
That's
the
shortest
answer.
If
that
has
a
follow-up
question,
as
we've
explored
the
implications
of
going
fare
free,
the
we've
tried
to
balance
the
additional
revenue
compared
to
the
additional
ridership
and
you
you
can
get
more
service
to
more
people.
If
we
continue
to
collect
fares,
then
we
would
get
increased
ridership
by
simply
not
collecting
fares.
I
G
We
would
have
to
look
a
little
closer
at
that,
I'm
not
sure
what
we
need
to
take
a
closer
look
at
that
it's
hard
to
tell
because
ridership
was
down
generally
we'd
have
to
look
kind
of
month
to
month
on
that
to
see
if
there
was
an
additional
decline
in
ridership
after
we
started
collecting
fares
perfect.
Thank
you.
F
Madam
mayor
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
I
get
a
lot
of
time
to
talk
to
vrt,
so
if
anyone
else
has
questions
please
pop
in,
I
am
particularly
excited
about
the
opportunity
to
utilize
the
benefit.
If
you
will
of
using
the
cares
funding
for
operations
to
build
out
the
state
street
corridor
stephen,
I
was
excited
to
talk
to
you
yesterday
about
how
we
might
apply
for
various
funds.
To
do
that,
I
guess
my.
F
Your
slide
showed
that
we
would
focus
on
passenger
amenities
and
station
areas
and
those
kinds
of
things
you
and
I
talked
yesterday
about
the
importance
of
also
working
to
get
that
third
lane
built
out
in
the
segment
so
that
we
get
continuous
bike
pad
connectivity
and
access
to
the
system
as
well
as
continuous
operational
service
by
the
the
buses
themselves.
F
G
Yes,
we
did
talk
about
that
yesterday
and
made
sure
to
include
the
importance
of
pedestrian
and
bicycle
improvements
in
the
in
the
presentation
today
and
and
could
have
included
a
reference
to
the
sixth
and
seventh
lane
as
well.
A
A
J
A
A
You
go
but
bri
yeah
bring
it
down
a
little
bit
so
you're
a
little
louder.
I'm
a
little
shorter.
J
Great,
my
name
is
bree
brush.
I
am
relatively
new
with
the
city,
so,
if
I
haven't
met
you
yet
I
work
in
the
mayor's
office
on
transportation
policy,
so
I
spend
a
lot
of
time
with
our
partners
in
this
space
talking
about
our
transportation
priorities.
So
that's
what
karen
and
I
will
be
here
for
today,
as
the
mayor
said,
we'll
present
on
some
specific
fy
22
transit
priorities,
but
first
a
little
background.
J
The
city
established
a
memorandum
of
understanding
with
valley,
regional
transit
in
2019
to
establish
the
process
for
how
we
would
provide
consistent,
transit
funding.
You
heard
the
first
piece
of
that
earlier
from
their
development
director,
stephen
and
the
other
portion
will
be
later
this
evening
in
your
evening
meeting
for
a
public
hearing.
J
The
contributions
here
on
the
screen
are
the
last
three
years
of
our
contributions.
They
are
usually
around
eight
and
a
half
million,
but
can
vary
a
little
bit
depending
on
the
year
because
they're
tied
to
property
tax
receipts,
so
this
number
usually
amounts
to
five
percent
of
property
tax
receipts
next
I'll
hand
it
to
karen
and
she'll
go
through
those
first
two
initiatives
with
you.
K
So,
following
up
on
what
stephen
was
saying
about
state
street
and
welcome
karen
is
that
do
I
need.
A
K
It's
it's
been
almost
a
year
and
it's
just
very
different
to
be
back
under
just
the
new
way
we
operate
so,
but
it's
good
to
be
here.
Thank
you.
So
our
first
initiative
is
state
street.
So
it's
long
been
a
city
priority.
As
steven
said,
this
is,
we've
got
at
least
six
partners
that
we're
working
on
at
state
street,
and
you
know
in
a
nutshell.
Why
we're
one
of
the
reasons
why
we're
focusing
on
state
street
is
without
transit?
K
So
it's
still
just
a
transit
is
the
best
solution
for
this
corridor
and,
as
steven
said,
we've
got
this
great
opportunity
with
the
cares
fund
since
they've
covered
the
city's
operating
funds
for
the
last
year
that
we
just
got
this
opportunity
to
invest
in
the
corridor
and
we
have
been
looking
at
the
passenger
amenities,
real-time
information,
the
enhanced
and
branded
shelters
branded
service,
hopefully
with
electric
vehicles
as
we
go
forward
and
the
routes
and
then
the
level
boarding
and
off
board
fair
ability
to
pay
for
your
fare.
K
I
think
council
member
clegg
was
bringing
up
the
additional
lanes,
so
we're
we're
still
at
the
very
beginning
of
figuring
out
how
big
of
a
grant
we
want
to
go
for
and
what's
available
for
us.
I
think
the
implementation
time
would
be
one
thing
that
would
be
a
consideration.
Upgrading
the
amenities
could
be
accomplished
sooner.
K
It
gets
a
little
more
complicated
with
the
additional
lanes,
but
that's
still
something
that's
on
the
board,
and
I
guess,
if
any
of
the
council
members
have
input
on
that,
this
would
be
a
great
time
to
take
that
input
as
well.
K
K
They're
branded
with
some
of
the
vista
logos
on
the
bike,
racks
and
they've
got
art
included
as
well,
and
many
shelters,
there's
still
opportunities
to
add,
more
shelters
and
upgrades
on
vista
as
well,
but
what's
lagging
behind
is
definitely
fair
view,
at
least
even
in
the
planning
stages,
so
as
steve.
Instead,
in
this
coming
year,
fairview
corridor
is
one
that
we
we
will
be
looking
at
as
well.
So
just
getting
those
shelters,
benches
and
bike
racks
really
make
a
difference
for
riders
across
the
nation.
J
Okay,
that
final
focus
area
for
us
for
fy
22
will
be
an
increased
focus
on
how
we
can
really
maximize
those
existing
transit
investments.
We
know
that
finding
transportation
solutions
is
a
consistent
concern
for
residents
and
we
have
about
the
five
percent
dedicated
each
year
to
that
cause
and
you'll
see
on
this.
The
slide
here
that
makes
about
87
percent
of
vrt's
local
contribution
budget
and
for
scale.
J
You
can
see
where
that
falls
relative
to
our
other
departments,
to
help
us
meet
our
citywide
transportation
or
citywide
goals
for
improving
information,
accessibility,
we're
looking
to
our
partners
at
vrt
to
help
meet
those
objectives
and
help
us
get
a
better
understanding
for
how
our
investments
meet
those
transportation
needs.
So
our
two
budget
teams
have
already
begun
working
together
to
identify
some
performance
metrics
that
we
think
would
help
deepen
that
understanding
of
our
financial
investment
for
vrt
and
track
how
we're
meeting
those
goals-
and
that
is
all
we
have
for
you.
A
F
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
so
I
guess
my
my
biggest
question
is
as
we
move
forward
with
this,
given
the
atmosphere
that
we're
in
knowing
that
we
have
a
year
where
we're
likely
to
have
lower
ridership,
I
guess
thinking
back
to
the
airport
presentation.
F
It
seems
like
it's
a
tremendous
opportunity
to
catch
up
a
bit
on
some
of
these
amenities
in
a
time
when
it
won't
be
quite
as
disruptive
to
the
writers,
because
there
may
not
be
quite
as
many
writers
and
thinking
about
that,
either
brie
or
stephen
or
karen
as
we
one
of
the
things
I
I
don't
know.
If
stephen,
I
think
you
mentioned
it,
but
I
don't
know
if
people
caught
was
that,
in
addition
to
the
transit
operations,
planning,
that's
going
on
on
state
street,
there's
also
a
bus.
F
J
G
F
And
then
just
follow
up,
I
I
believe
the
planning
is
to
follow
up
that
typology
study
with
improvements
to
bus
stops
based
on
our
typical
39
5339
formula
or
grants.
There's
a
competitive
grant
process
also
in
5339
is.
Is
that
correct.
G
Madam
mayor
councilmember
clegg,
yes,
that's
correct,
and
so
we'll
we
will
be
working
with
city
of
boise
staff
as
well
to
develop
one.
When
I
mentioned
that
we
would
be
working
on
having
an
implementation
plan
for
the
state
street
build
out
in
21
as
an
activity
in
21.
One
of
the
key
features
of
that
is
to
look
at
how
these
planning
efforts,
as
well
as
capital,
construction
and
design,
would
would
play
out
over
the
coming
fiscal
year
and
and
forward.
G
F
Great,
so
one
more
follow-up,
if
I
might
met
a
mayor,
stephen,
the
reason
I'm
bringing
this
up
is,
as
karen
was
speaking,
especially
in
remembering
the
work
that
our
department
of
arts
and
history
and
our
energized
neighborhoods
did
on
the
vista
corridor.
It
seems
like
this
is
also
perhaps
a
time
that
we
could
engage
both
of
them
early
rather
than
waiting
for.
Typically,
what
happened
on
vista
is
that
we
waited
for
the
neighborhood
association
to
apply
for
reinvestment
grants,
and
then
we
developed
the
artwork
designs
and
the
various
things
that
that
enhance
the
neighborhood.
A
I
Yeah,
madam
mayor,
one
more
question,
so
you
know
my
brain's
kind
of
I
think
at
the
same
spot
where
elaine's
is
like
what
are
what
are
the
infrastructure
improvements
that
we
can
make
this
year?
That
are,
you
know
slightly
more,
that
might
be
disruptive
in
a
year
where
things
were
quite
a
bit
busier,
and
so,
if
there
are
a
way
of
prioritizing
those
types
of
things
when
we
know
it
might
be
a
slower
year,
I
think
that's
something
something
certainly
worth
looking
into
steven.
G
Council
member
great
question,
madam
mayor
council,
member
hallie
burton
they
I
mean
without
getting
into
a
lot
of
really
interesting
transit
sort
of
theory
and
the
difference
between
riders
in
the
peak
period
and
and
the
off
peak
in
midday
is
that
you
is
typically
the
type
of
trip
that
that's
happening
and,
to
some
extent,
some
of
the
demographics
that
go
along
with
that.
So,
if
you
do
have
passengers
who
are
working,
not
your
typical
nine
to
five
type
of
job,
you
will
see
them
riding
at
off
hours.
G
If
you
have
somebody
who
requires
who
doesn't
have
a
car,
you
will
see
them
riding
at
all
different
times
of
the
day,
because
we
we
don't
just
drive
our
cars,
you
know
to
and
from
work
we
drive
our
cars
to
lots
of
other
places,
and
so
there's
long
been
this
kind
of
bifurcation
of
the
transit
market
to
be.
G
You
know
focused
solely
on
a
commute
trip
to
the
main,
the
main
employment
center
and
then
the
the
other
side,
which
is
just
general
transportation
and
the
general
transportation
side
of
things
tends
to
be
more
robust.
I
think
over
time
in
terms
of
it
doesn't
it
doesn't
follow
your
boom
and
bust
cycles,
quite
as
much
because
it's
just
general
transportation,
and
I
think
we
actually
have
seen
some
of
that
with
our
own
ridership
impacts
through
kovid.
G
We
don't
have
a
super
heavy
peak
period
service.
I
mean
we
do
have
more
peak
service
in
the
peak
period
than
we
do
in
the
off
peak.
But
a
lot
of
our
service
is
kind
of
more
consistent
throughout
the
day
which
just
we
didn't
have
quite
as
far
to
fall,
I
think,
is
what
I'm
trying
to
get
out
with
our
with
the
covert
impact,
and
we
saw
like
I
mentioned
saturday.
G
Ridership
didn't
didn't
decline
nearly
as
much
as
midday
ridership
and
I
think
it
speaks
to
how
people
are
using
the
service
when
they
ride
midday
versus
riding
in
the
peak
period.
So
it's
been
interesting
to
watch
and
I
think
it
highlights
some
of
the
differences
between
how
people
use
transit
and
why
it's
important
to
a
lot
of
different
people.
But
that's,
I
think,
another
thing
that
the
city
of
boise
has
been
pushing
on
in
terms
of
getting
a
longer
span
of
service
to
help
facilitate
people
who
can
use.
G
Maybe
the
people
who
don't
have
a
typical,
again
nine
to
five
type
of
job,
but
can
if
they're
doing
swing,
shift
types
of
things.
Some
of
our
services
don't
operate
late
enough
for
the
to
catch.
One
end
of
that
trip,
and
so
we
with
the
city
of
boise,
have
been
working
towards
kind
of
an
all-day
transportation
as
opposed
to
one.
That's
focused
solely
on
the
peak
period.
I
Yep
yeah
stephen.
I
really
appreciate
the
the
clarity
there.
I
think
you
know
with
these
investments
that
we're
making
like,
I
said,
I
think,
I'm
really
on
the
same
page
with
elaine
and
and
what
we
can
do
this
year,
also
trying
to
make
sure
that
we're
still
offering
that
services
for
the
folks
who
have
no
other
transportation
options
and
we're
prioritizing
that
in
a
you
know,
couple
years
that
might
be
pretty
tough
as
people
kind
of
emerge
and
try
to
get
back
on
their
feet.
So
thank
you
again
for
the
presentation.
H
Madam
mayor,
thank
you
stephen.
So
I
have
a
question
about
the
the
bus
stops.
As
we
know,
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
the
covered,
shelters
or
like
the
kind
that
you
see
in
other
cities
that
have
the
immediate
updates
about
whether
your
bus
is
coming
and
the
time
it's
going
to
arrive.
So
as
we're
as
we're.
Looking
at
the
other
typologies
of
the
other
versions,
are
we
are
we
looking
to
catch
up?
G
Madam
mayor
councilmember
sanchez,
we
are
looking
to
be
innovative
on
how
we,
how
we
roll
that
out
there
and
it's
exciting,
actually
to
think
about,
because
you're
talking
about
real-time
information
being
making
information
available
at
the
stop,
which
you
know
even
just
15
years
ago,
was
largely
only
at
rail
stations
and
they
were
pixelated
signs.
That
didn't
I
mean,
were
expensive
and
heavy
and
required
a
lot
of
infrastructure
to
make
work.
G
We
would
be
looking
to
provide
the
information
in
as
economically
way
as
we
can
so
that
it
could
get
to
as
many
different
places
across
the
region
as
possible,
and
I
think
that
there
are
ways
to
do
that
that
they
have
a
lighter
footprint
that
could
be
powered
by
solar,
that
and
and
that
has
both
green
impacts,
but
it
also
just
has
cost
and
infrastructure
impacts.
If
we
don't
have
to
tie
into
the
into
the
grid,
then
it
makes
things
cheaper.
G
It
makes
it
easier
to
implement,
and
so
we
definitely
would
be
looking
at
those
features
as
we
developed
that
bus
stop
typology
to
determine
how.
How
can
we
get
as
many
of
those
amenities
to
as
many
different
places
as
possible,
while
making
sure
that
our
best-in-class
corridors
certainly
provide
that
level
of
service.
