C
Good
morning,
mayor
city
manager,
council
members,
thank
you
for
inviting
me
to
share
this
information
today
and
I
believe
the
public
works
department
as
well,
and
I
am
the
pro
the
program
manager
for
better
work,
columbus
and
our
program
is
focused
on
helping
people
who
have
been
unemployed
or
underemployed
to
find
a
path
to
meaningful
work,
that
a
lot
will
allow
them
to
earn
a
living
wage.
So
that
ultimate
goal
is,
is
living
wage
and
we
do
care
a
lot
and
and
look
at
a
lot,
the
barriers
that
people
face
during
that
process.
C
C
C
C
C
I've
had
that
one
employer
said
I've
had
several
employers
that
rely
heavily
on
the
bus
and
they're
perpetually
laid
resulting
in
disciplinary
action.
That's
outlined
in
their
attendance
policy
and,
of
course,
shifts
are
important.
People
are
not
able
sometimes
to
accept
shift
work
because
the
bus
doesn't
run
early
enough
or
late
enough
for
them
to
be
able
to
work.
C
Here
is
a
comment
related
to
that
one.
Employer
said
you
know:
I've
got
employees
whose
shifts
start
at
1
pm,
but
ending
all
throughout
the
night
and
there's
not
a
bus
available,
and
they
don't
have
family
who
can
pick
them
up
because
they're
home
sleeping,
so
they
end
up
having
to
turn
down
positions
or
lose
positions.
Because
of
that.
So
those
are
just
some
of
the
comments
that
I
have
heard
or
types
of
comments
that
I've
heard
from
employers.
But
it
was
comments
like
these
that
initially
prompted
us
to
ask
that
question.
C
C
C
We
asked
what
their
primary
mode
of
transportation
is,
and
we
found
that
about
49
of
the
people
that
we
surveyed
either
used
metra
so
use
the
bus
system
or
alone,
or
some
combination
of
metra
and
walking
or
biking
or
hitching
a
ride
with
a
friend.
C
For
for
those
who
have
used
metra
as
their
primary
mode
of
transportation,
we
found
that
a
majority
of
them
generally
take
buses,
ten,
nine,
five
or
three.
I
think
those
combined
to
be
about
75
percent
of
the
responses,
and
you
know
looking
at
those
routes.
I
believe-
and
you
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong-
those
are
buses
that
go
to
areas
like
airport,
throughway,
bradley
park,
peachtree
mall
and
I
think,
like
st
mary's
and
buena
vista
road.
It
would
be
interesting
to
me
to
see
if
that
information
coincides
with
what
you
see.
C
How
far
do
they
have
to
walk
from
home
to
get
to
the
nearest
bus?
Stop,
and
I
did
some
research
and
found
that
about
a
quarter
of
a
mile,
so
0.25
miles
is
generally
used
as
an
acceptable
walking
distance
in
u.s
research
studies
to
get
to
bus
stops.
So
it's
worth
noting
here
that
about
17
of
the
people
responded
that
they
had
to
walk
further
than
that
to
get
to
a
bus,
stop.
C
And
then
we
asked
during
bad
weather,
have
you
ever
called
out
from
work
or
missed
appointments
to
avoid
taking
the
bus
and
43
percent
of
the
people
said?
Yes,
that
has
happened
to
them
as
a
follow-up
to
this
question.
We
ask
why?
Because
we
wanted
to
understand,
why
have
they,
you
know
called
out
of
work
or
missed
appointments,
so
you
know
because
they
didn't
want
to
have
to
take
the
bus
and
of
the
responses.
C
This
is
a
really
good
highlight
of
those
most
of
them
had
to
do
with
weather
had
to
do
with
shelter
being
available
at
the
bus
stops
had
to
do
with
those
types
of
questions.
C
So
so
most
of
their
responses
were
related
to
that
to
weather,
not
having
shelter
those
types
of
things
we
also
ask:
have
they
ever
been
in
a
position
that
they've
had
to
depend
on
the
city
bus
to
travel,
to
work,
so
not
just
public
transportation
in
general,
although
in
columbus,
that's
what
we
have
but
having
to
be
to
depend
on
the
bus
specifically,
and
we
had
66
percent
of
the
people
who
said
yes,
they've
been
in
situations
where
they've
had
to
depend
on
the
city
bus
for
that.
C
Having
good
and
reliable
public
transportation
is
so
important
when
it's
your
only
option
to
get
where
you
need
to
be
so
having
66
of
the
144
people
that
we
talk
to
say,
they've
been
in
that
situation
is
important
and
what
I
would
do
is
stop
here
to
just
say:
I
hope
we
all
can
consider
you
know
what,
if
what,
if
we
had
to
rely
on
a
bus
to
get
in
everywhere,
all
the
time,
but
even
more
important
than
getting
to
the
store
or
getting
to
an
appointment,
what?
C
We
ask:
have
you
ever
turned
down
a
job
or
not
applied
for
one,
because
the
bus
did
not
have
a
route
to
that
location
and
51
of
those
people
said
yes,
that
they
have
turned
down
a
job
or
not
applied
to
one?
And
that
doesn't
surprise
me
at
all,
because
I
talk
to
those
people,
I
have
picked
up
the
phone
and
called
someone
before
and
said:
hey
this
company
is
looking
for
someone
you're
a
good
fit
for
this
position
and
they've
said
I
can't
apply
for
that.
I
can't
get
there.
C
So
what
I
want
to
say
here
is
we
can't
assume
it's
easy,
sometimes
to
assume,
but
we
can't
assume
that
the
bus
doesn't
need
to
stop
somewhere
like
the
technology
park,
because
everyone
who
works
there
has
a
car,
because
when
we
look
at
it
that
way
we're
limiting
the
opportunity
for
people
who
need
it.
The
most.
C
The
next
question
we
asked
is:
have
you
ever
quit
or
been
terminated
from
a
job,
because
the
bus
was
not
able
to
get
you
to
your
job
at
the
scheduled
time
and
about
the
same
number
of
people,
50
percent
said
they
have
quit
or
been
terminated
from
a
job
because
of
this.
So
it's
no
wonder
the
employers
that
I
talk
to
are
making
the
comments
like
they
make.
C
You
know
they
tell
me
they
understand
the
situation
and
they
really
want
to
support
the
people
who
work
for
them
and
they
want
to
be
able
to
hire
some
people,
but
they
also
have
business
to
run.
You
know
in
a
similar
way
that
you
have
to
deal
with
the
budget
issues.
C
They
have
to
deal
with
those
types
of
issues
as
well,
and
so
many
of
them
have
spent
their
own
time
valuable
time,
trying
to
figure
out
a
solution,
and
I'm
not
saying
by
any
means
that
public
transport
transportation
is
the
only
answer,
but
it
does
play
an
important
role.
C
And
also
I'll
say
when
I
break
those
numbers
down
for
those
last
two
questions
about
50
51,
looking
at
the
number
of
people
that
we
surveyed,
that
is
about
48
people
who
responded
with
that.
C
As
a
follow-up,
we
wanted
to
understand
how
reduced
or
no
or
not
having
that
transportation
service
affects
their
daily
activities.
So
when
we
get
in
a
situation
as
a
city
and
it's
so
important
and
difficult,
it's
not
easy.
We've
got
budget
issues,
we
cut
back
right
because
less
people
are
using
the
service,
but
I
wanted
to
understand
how
that
impacts,
the
people
that
don't
have
any
other
option,
and
so
we
asked
them
this
question
to
be
able
to
understand
that
and
what
we
found
out
was.
C
We
also
heard
it
slow,
slows
plans,
business
plans,
so
people
who
are
trying
to
better
themselves
who
are
trying
to
go
to
school,
who
are
trying
to
do
those
things
missing,
appointments
not
being
able
to
get
a
driver's
license.
That's
a
real
problem
for
people,
so
all
of
these
things
make
it
more
difficult
and
there's
a
tendency
to
think
that
when
bus
ridership
is
low,
people
don't
need
it.
C
That
just
doesn't
help
our
community
at
all
and
the
situation's
not
unique
to
columbus,
as
with
everything
else
covet
has
made
it
worse.
C
C
C
C
Stop
43
percent
have
missed
work
or
our
appointments
due
to
bad
weather
and
not
having
adequate
shelter
is
a
concern
and
then,
more
importantly,
of
the
66
percent,
who
have
had
to
depend
on
the
city
bus
for
work
to
travel,
to
work.
51
percent
say
they
have
turned
down
or
not
applied
to
a
job,
because
there
was
no
bus
route
close
enough
to
the
work,
location
and
50
percent
say
they
have
either
quit
or
been
terminated
from
a
job,
because
the
bus
was
not
able
to
get
them
to
the
job
on
time.
C
C
The
people
that
watch
on
live
stream,
the
people
that
come
here
all
of
the
time
to
share
their
hearts
with
you,
we've
got
so
many
great
people.
I
have
to
believe
that
if
we
put
our
heads
together,
we
can
find
an
answer
that
works
and
that
makes
our
community
stronger.
B
B
You
know
we
look
at
this
and
we
have
a
tendency
to
look
at
it
as
a
like
you'd
watch,
a
movie
like
oh
man,
it's
unfortunate
years
ago,
open
door
did
a
a
program
where
you
were
assigned
a
to
be
a
person
and
they
gave
you
different
circumstances
that
lived
in
poverty,
and
I'm
telling
you
when
you're
your
task
is
to
figure
out
how
to
get
to
work,
how
to
cover
when
a
child
needs
to
go
to
a
doctor's
appointment.
B
B
D
Thank
you
mayor.
I
want
to
thank
christian
for
for
doing
this
work.
It
just
evolved
out
of
discussions.
We
were
having
on
the
re-entry
commission
and
you
know
there
are
a
lot
of
stories,
but
as
we
talked
it
was
clear
you
know
stories
and
stories.
We
need
something.
You
know
some
facts
to
try
to
sit
down
and
okay
understand
what
the
problem
is.
So
this
is
not
a
definitive
answer
for
anything
to
go.
D
D
So
I
mean
that's
the
intent
just
to
give
us
an
idea.
These
are
some
facts
of
you
know
people
and
employers
that
have
been
surveyed.
I
mean
it.
Does
you
know
kind
of
give
us
you
know
so
a
start
point
for
discussion
as
to
what
we
can
do,
because
in
some
cases
we
can't
solve
it,
but
at
least
we
understand
a
little
bit
better.
What
the
problem
is
and
as
we
look
for
solutions,
maybe
we
can
solve
some
of
it.
Thank
you.
Well,.
B
I
think
the
city
manager
will
tell
you
that,
because
of
our
our
labor
challenges,
which
is
everybody's
labor,
challenge
we're
so
short
on
drivers
that
we're
actually
operating
on
saturday
schedules
monday
through
friday,
which
makes
it
more
difficult
for
individuals
who
are
trying
to
time
their
route
to
work
because
now,
instead
of
waiting
about
15
to
30
minutes
for
the
next
bus,
they
got
to
wait
about
an
hour.
E
We
had
some
of
these
kinds
of
conversations,
and
one
of
the
real
big
issues
in
this
was
because
we
rely
on
some
of
the
federal
government
funding
that
that
impacts
some
of
this
scheduling
and
so
forth.
I
remember
that
I
had
somebody
approach
me
about
wanting
to
put
some
bus.
Stop
stands
up
and
they
couldn't
do
it
because
of
the
some
of
the
restrictions
from
the
federal
government.
Am
I
remembering
that
correctly.
A
Yes,
ma'am
and
you
are-
and
let
me
just
say
to
ms
barker
that
thank
you
for
what
you've
done
and
what
you've
brought
before
this
council
today
and
the
metro
representatives
are
not
here,
because
I
don't
think
we
communicated
to
them
that
you
were
doing
it
today.
Otherwise
they
would
have
been
here,
but
this
is
great
information
and
council.
Thomas
is
absolutely
correct.
A
That
was
some
time
ago,
but
and-
and
I
know
that
this
was
a
limited
sample-
I
believe
you
said
144
people,
but
we've
had
a
unique
situation.
Everything
that
you've
said
you
know,
I
think
it's
right
on
point.
A
Our
unique
situation
is
that
we
expand
it,
and
so
we've
been
back
and
forth
prior
to
the
transportation
stretch
of
purpose,
local
option
sales
tax.
All
those
things
that
council
of
thomas
talked
about
were
accurate.
A
I
mean
we
just
didn't:
have
the
additional
funding
to
do
the
bus,
stop,
shelters
and
all
the
stuff,
as
councilor
thomas
pointed
out,
and
then
in
2012
came
the
transportation
special
purpose,
local
option
sales
tax
and
we
were
allocated
22.4
million
dollars
for
public
transit,
and
so
this
council
authorized
metra
to
go
out
and
do
a
comprehensive
review
of
the
transit
system.
A
They
had
public
meetings
and
they
went
and
identified
every
single
bus
stop
and
they
monitored
who's
riding
at
that
bus,
stop
or
people
riding
at
that
bus
stop,
and
I
mean
this
comprehensive
review
was
comprehensive,
and
so
they
came
back
before
this
council
and
they
presented
an
expansion
of
bus
service
based
on
I
mean
we
went
out,
and
I
cannot
tell
you
how
many
I
don't
know
the
exact
number
of
new
buses
that
we
bought.
A
We
added
more
than
20
additional
employees,
bus
operators
and
support
staff.
We
added
bus
routes,
we
our
servers
were
stopped.
We
would
stop
the
service
at
8
30
in
the
evening.
The
last
bus.
In
now,
the
last
bus
was
coming
in
after
midnight
in
the
last
couple
of
years,
and
so
we
had
additional
bus
operators,
new
buses,
additional
buses
and
an
expansion
of
service
from
4
30
a.m.
A
In
the
morning
until
midnight
monday
through
saturday,
and
thinking
that
after
those
hearings
and
identifying
where
people
are
and
creating
the
new
routes
and
some
express
routes
would
get
more
people,
and
so
after
the
service
started,
we
said
you
know.
If
if
we
don't
get
the
ridership,
then
we
cannot
justify
running
those
routes
up
to
midnight,
because
it
was
just-
and
I
heard
everything
you
said
about
you
know-
I
think
we
kept
them
out
there
long
enough.
That.
A
I
can't
I
don't
have
the
details
of
it,
but
that's
what
happened,
and
so
we
were
not
getting
the
ridership.
So
initially
we
cut
the
service
back
with
expanded
it
and
because
of
no
ridership
late
at
night.
We
then
cut
it
back
to
10
o'clock
and
so
and
we
were
trying
to
drum
up
the
ridership
support
and-
and
so
just
in
recent
time,
we've
cut
it
back
to
win.
The
last
bus,
I
believe,
is
in
at
8
30
p.m.
A
So
I
want
you
to
know,
I
don't
know
how
much
if
you've
talked
to
metra
but
but
but
we
had
and
still
have
money
that
we're
spending
22.4
million
dollars.
We
created
three
park
and
ride
sites
right
here
in
columbus
that
people
could
drive
in
and
park
and
ride.
That
was
part
of
what
we
used
the
money
for,
and
so
so
we've
gone
from
this
limited
service
to
this
expanded
service
that
we've
cut
back
because
no
ridership
and
then
the
pandemic.
A
C
Yeah
yeah,
I
do
have
one
question
related
question
and
I
I
appreciate
all
of
that.
It's
a
lot
to
try
to
manage
and
work
through
and
you
know,
get
the
feedback
and
figure
out.
I
I
do
wonder
how
long
if
it
was
long
enough.
You
know
that
that's
that
was
in
place
and
then
I
do
wonder
because
shift
work
is
a
part
of
that
and
I
don't
know
that
the
shifts
actually
get
off
until
like
3
or
3
30..
C
But
that's
actually
not
what
I
wanted
to
ask.
I
had
one
of
the
employers
that
I
work
with
recently
tell
me
she
had
been
to
metra
and
talked
to
them
about
adding
a
shelter
sure.
F
C
A
Yeah
well
let
me
say
that,
as
I
said
earlier,
they
identify
and
they've
got
this
sophisticated
bus
route
system
that
they
can
survey
at
each
bus
stop
and
they
can
select
the
button
when
they
get
to
a
particular
bus.
Stop
where
there
is
a
rider
and
there's
a
computer
printout
that
will
show
the
bus
stop
they're
riding
in,
and
so
some
employers
not
saying
this.
A
We
want
them
to
see
this,
we
want
to
discuss
it
and
we
want
to
see
what
we
can
do
different
to
make
transportation
better,
but
and
so
deputy
city
manager,
lisa
goodwin,
is
going
to
follow
up
with
you
and
pull
all
the
parties
together,
because
I
mean
that's
great,
a
great
survey
information
and
I
I
know
you're
passionate
about
it
and
we
want
your
passion,
and
so
this
is
not
the
last
conversation
we're
going
to
have.
A
C
E
I
know
that,
for
example,
st
luke's
school
was
giving
scholarships
to
kids
who
lived
in
north
highland
to
come
to
saint
luke's
school.
They
couldn't
get
there,
they
didn't
have
transportation,
they
couldn't
get
to
the
school,
so
we
had
to
do
something
else
same
thing
with
saint
ann's
and
calvary
christian.
E
If
we
can
just
figure
out
how
to
do
that
exactly-
and
I
believe
that
there
are
some
folks
sitting
around
this
table
that
could
figure
out
how
to
do
that,
because
it's
it's
as
the
mayor
said:
if
you've
never
had
to
depend
on
public
transportation
to
go,
get
your
medicine,
you
don't
have
a
clue
what
it
what
it
takes
to
do
that
to
get
there,
and
so
I'm
I'm
always
encouraged
with
our
metra
staff,
who
are
willing
to
give
it
a
try.
Let's
see
what
we
can
do,
and
I
I
commend
them
for
that.
G
Thank
you.
I
remember
the
conversation
that
counselor
tom
thomas
was
referring
to
and
at
that
time
I
believe
counselor
garrett
and
I
brought
up
the
possibility
of
smaller
vehicles.
G
Instead
of
these
large,
you
know
more
more
vehicles,
but
the
smaller
vehicles-
and
I
think
I'd
like
us
to
address
that
one
more
time,
because,
especially
now,
where
we
are
low
in
cdl
drivers,
we
don't
they
don't
need
to
have
that
type
of
a
license
to
be
driving
a
van
or
something
like
that,
and
then
also
maybe
some
public
private
partnerships.
G
G
They
work
with
us,
they
provide
the
shelters
they
broke
and
then
they
work
with
us
so
that
they
have
a
specific
route
that
that
a
comp
you
know,
accomplishes
getting
their
employees
to
and
from
work.
During
that
those
different
shifts,
it
seems.
G
So
I'm
hoping
that
you
know,
maybe
we
can
get
around
the
bureaucracy
by
having
a
public
private
partnership,
and
so
I'd
like
us
to
look
into
that.
H
Yes,
counselor
crab
touched
on
it
a
little
bit.
I
was
in
a
gma
and
I
heard
conversation
going
that
some
jobs
are
desperate
for
employees,
so
they're
offering
different
incentives.
H
I
tend
to
agree
with
consular
craft,
is
talking
to
our
employers
to
see
what
are
they
willing
to
do
to
provide
for
their
employees?
Maybe
they'll
provide
the
pass
or
half
and
half
on
their
taxi
or
or
uber
or
whatever
they
take
to
get
to
work.
If
that's
something
you
guys
can
also
consider
as
you're
talking
with
metra
and
yourself
man
innovative
ways
different
ways.
H
Some
companies
have
been
giving
bonuses.
Some
companies
have
been
paying
for
babysitters.
Some
companies
been
doing
different,
innovative
we're
in
a
time
of
crisis
right
now
in
our
country,
and
we
can't
just
depend
just
on
government.
We
have
to
everybody
chip
in
and
help
and
do
a
little
bit.
There's
that
neighbor
going
the
same
way
drop
her
off.
You
give
her
a
couple
dollars
for
gas.
We
need
to
get
back
into
that
innovative
way
to
share
a
ride
and
possibly
the
employees
to
share
a
ride.
C
I
agree
and
some
of
the
solutions
that
I've
seen
that
that's
at
the
core
yeah.
B
Mr
parker
doesn't
appear
to
be
any
more
questions
I
you
know,
this
is
all
part
of
the
bigger.
This
is
a
piece
that
goes
in
a
bigger
puzzle
and
that
puzzles
poverty
and
to
be
able
to
try
to
keep
people
employed
off
the
streets,
give
them
a
roof
over
their
head
and
try
to
get
people
who
are
starting
over
after
paying
a
debt
for
some
type
of
transgression.
B
It's
all
predicated
on
giving
them
access,
so
I
think
I
think
your
presentation
has
caught
the
attention
of
the
city
manager
absolutely,
and
I
would
imagine
we'll
try
to
pull
together
a
group
that,
if
nothing
else
just
furthers
the
conversation,
looks
for
more
innovative
ways
to
try
to
take
care
of
this.
One
piece
of
the
bigger
challenge.
A
Well,
it
absolutely
got
my
attention
and-
and-
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
all-
that
we
can
to
have
the
best
public
transit
system
that
we
can
have,
especially
considering
we
got
this
22.4
million
dollars
in
and
and
we've
gotten
karazak
money
for
for
transit.
We've
got
an
arp
money
for
transit,
and
so
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
taking
care
of
the
people
as
best
we
can.
A
The
only
challenge
that
we
have-
and
you
heard
council
crap
talk
about
the
buses
and
you
know
we
got
to
have
the
ridership
and
and
because,
if
we
don't,
we
hear
from
people
saying
that
you
know
why
you
have
that
big
bus.
You
know
and
two
people
on
it,
and
so
we
have,
I
mean
with
dalarat
and
some
and
and
even
on
a
fixed
route.
You
know
and
I've
since
we're
on
this
saturday
schedule.
A
A
These
electronic
fare
boxes,
they
can
survey,
they
can
tell
you
how
many
pennies
nickels
dimes
quarters
and
dollar
bills
and
whether
they
were
elderly
or
disabled,
because
they
got.
They
touch
a
key
to
tell
you
if
it's
an
elderly
or
disabled,
and
they
can
tell
you
what
bus
stop
and
that's
why
they
know
that.
You
know
if
someone's
not
riding
at
a
particular
bus.
Stop
or
here
are
the
bus
stops.
They
are
riding
at
because
they
they're
telling
and
they
print
this
print
out.
A
You
know
at
night
they
go
and
they
they
they
pull
the
fare
box
and
they
they
put
it
in.
They
use
something
and
to
retrieve
all
the
data
into
the
computer.
It
sends
it
to
the
administrative
offices
on
daily
and
they
can
pull
that
report
and
they
can
tell
you
all
about
what
happened
on
that
route.
Yes,
so.
A
That
report
is
awesome
and
and
any
input
advice
we
want
you
to
share
it
with
us
and
we're
willing
to
do
whatever
it
takes
to
make
sure
we
take
care
of
the
people
we'll
be
in
touch.
Yes,
thank.
A
C
I
F
You
for
your
presentation,
I'm
sorry.
I
had
to
step
out
and
take
a
call,
but
I
was
listening
a
little
in
the
back
and
I
just
want
to
assure
you
that
the
city
manager
has
worked
with
us
in
the
past
and
I'm
sure
he's
going
to
work
with
you
going
forward.
I'm
one
of
the
counselors
that's
been
in
his
ear
over
the
past
10
years
and
he's
tried
different
things
in
my
district
and
some
have
worked
some
we,
the
people.
F
Sometimes
we
need
you
and
others
to
kind
of
corral
them
together
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
that
the
numbers
have
to
be
up
and
he's
had
buses
to
come
into
areas
to
make
it
simple
and
then
the
ridership
decreased
and
we
had
to
remove
the
bus
from
that
particular
route,
so
figure
out
a
way.
The
presentation
was
great
but
figure
out
a
way.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
yeah
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
I
I
guess
going
back
to
the
question.
It's
great
that
we're
looking
at
the
data.
I
guess
I
just
want
to
be
sure
we're
asking
the
right
question.
