[0:07] CapMetro board meeting.

[0:09] >> Travillion: well, I

[0:10] should say good afternoon.

[0:12] Good afternoon, everybody.

[0:14] And thank you all for coming

[0:16] out to our public hearing

[0:17] and special board meeting.

[0:19] I will call this meeting to

[0:20] order.

[0:23] Today is wednesday, FEBRUARY 11th.

[0:29] The time is 12:22.

[0:30] With a quorum available.

[0:32] I have to check with my

[0:33] attorney, with a quorum

[0:34] available, we'll start the

[0:37] meeting at 12:22.

[0:40] We are going to rearrange

[0:41] our order.

[0:43] We're going directly to

[0:45] action items.

[0:46] And we will go -- when we

[0:48] finish our action item we'll

[0:51] go back to the front and

[0:54] then work on the rest of our

[0:55] agent.

[0:56] First item on our agenda,

[1:00] and I'll read it into the --

[1:01] I'll read it into the

[1:02] record, approval of a

[1:04] resolution authorizing the

[1:05] PRESIDENT And ceo or her

[1:13] designee to apply for the

[1:15] capital area metropolitan

[1:16] planning organization,

[1:18] campo, 202008-2031 call for

[1:20] projects, submitting both

[1:22] CapMetro's bus stop street

[1:24] furniture and equipment

[1:27] program and hybrid bus fleet

[1:29] upgrade program for campo

[1:31] consideration and committing

[1:32] to providing local match

[1:34] funding from CapMetro

[1:36] should the projects be

[1:37] selected.

[1:38] Anna land will make this

[1:39] presentation for us.

[1:40] >> absolutely.

[1:42] Good afternoon, members of

[1:45] the board, chair travillion,

[1:46] president and ceo dottie

[1:46] watkins.

[1:51] My name is anna land and we

[1:52] are here to seek approval

[1:54] for the two projects that

[1:57] chair travillion started.

[1:58] The bus stops churn and

[1:59] equipment program and the

[2:00] hybrid bus fleet upgrade

[2:01] program.

[2:03] This was originally

[2:06] presented on JANUARY 14th to

[2:09] the finance audit and

[2:10] administration committee and

[2:14] was supposed to be on the

[2:14] JANUARY 26th board agenda

[2:16] that was rescheduled due to

[2:16] weather.

[2:17] We are seeking the

[2:19] application for these two

[2:19] projects.

[2:21] Under the campo call for

[2:23] projects, which is basically

[2:26] a competition for federal

[2:27] transportation funds

[2:29] eligible follow roadways,

[2:30] transit, multimodal

[2:32] improvements and safety

[2:32] enhancements.

[2:33] There are three different

[2:34] categories that we would

[2:35] like to apply under, and

[2:37] they are the service

[2:39] transportation block grant,

[2:40] transportation alternative

[2:41] set aside and the carbon

[2:42] reductions program.

[2:45] The first project is the

[2:47] CapMetro bus stop street

[2:48] furniture and equipment

[2:48] program.

[2:50] We are seeking funds to

[2:53] install 120 bus stop

[2:56] shelters and 76 priority

[2:58] transit stops.

[3:00] It is a little over

[3:01] 8.1 million and if awarded

[3:02] we would commit to a match

[3:05] of approximately a little

[3:06] over 1.6 million.

[3:08] the second is the hybrid bus

[3:11] fleet upgrade program.

[3:13] This is for the purchase of

[3:14] 18 diesel electric hybrid

[3:17] buses to replace our

[3:18] electric fleet and it

[3:19] supports our state of good

[3:21] repair goals.

[3:22] The total project cost is

[3:24] $27 million, and if awarded

[3:27] we commit to a local match

[3:28] of $5.4 million.

[3:29] And that's the end if you

[3:34] have any questions.

[3:35] >> Travillion: board

[3:36] members, do we have any

[3:36] questions?

[3:38] Do we have any questions?

[3:40] Have any questions?

[3:42] Hearing none, chair will

[3:43] entertain a motion to --

[3:45] >> chair, before we take

[3:46] that motion, I've been

[3:47] informed that one of our

[3:48] public speakers signed up to

[3:50] speak not just on the public

[3:51] hearing, but also on this

[3:52] action item, so I think it

[3:53] would make sense that we

[3:55] hear from them before the

[3:56] board takes a vote.

[3:59] >> Travillion: all right.

[4:00] Would that be MS. Joseph?

[4:01] >> I believe so.

[4:03] >> MS. Joseph, are you with

[4:18] us?

[4:19] Yes, MR. Easton.

[4:20] What is it you want me to

[4:22] comment on, is it the public

[4:24] hearing or the action item?

[4:25] I know you changed some

[4:27] order or something, but I

[4:27] didn't catch all that was

[4:29] said at the beginning of the

[4:31] meeting.

[4:31] >> Travillion: the action

[4:33] item.

[4:34] >> okay.

[4:36] Thank you, MR. Chair,

[4:37] members, I'm zenobia joseph.

[4:40] i just wanted to say as it

[4:45] relate specifically to the

[4:46] capital area metropolitan

[4:47] planning organization, as it

[4:49] relates to the bus stop

[4:51] furniture, I just want you

[4:52] to recognize -- and I

[4:53] mentioned this in the

[4:56] finance committee as well.

[5:01] Specifically at 100041 st.

[5:04] Albert the great catholic

[5:06] church, 12100 is on metric,

[5:07] there was a bus stop shelter

[5:09] that was just placed there

[5:10] within the last two weeks,

[5:12] and also one on parmer or

[5:14] near parmer at parmer

[5:15] elementary, but I would just

[5:17] remind you specifically that

[5:21] at braker and metric there

[5:23] is still a flat beverage for

[5:24] route 392, and I would ask

[5:26] you to recognize as well

[5:27] that the trashcans as I have

[5:30] mentioned before are being

[5:32] removed from CapMetro's

[5:33] bus stops, specifically

[5:35] north plaza and rundberg.

[5:36] And there are trashcans that

[5:42] have been removed from 392

[5:45] stop by [Indiscernible],

[5:46] rotter ham and shropshire,

[5:47] so while you are asking for

[5:49] more amenities, the question

[5:50] is why is it that you're

[5:52] unilaterally allowing the

[5:57] staff to remove those from

[5:58] the bus stops?

[5:59] Receiving more is not going

[6:00] to make the system more

[6:01] equitable.

[6:02] I would remind you that

[6:07] northeast of U.S. 183 the

[6:08] system is actually

[6:09] inequitable there.

[6:10] I would call to your

[6:12] attention the letter that

[6:14] was written by sharmila

[6:15] [Indiscernible] That said

[6:16] 50% of the enhanced stops

[6:18] were on rundberg, which is

[6:20] not true.

[6:22] So I've asked MR. Palmer to

[6:23] analyze the bus stop

[6:24] shelters and the

[6:28] distribution of those

[6:30] assets, the yellow book

[6:31] gives him his guidelines.

[6:33] He has not done so at this

[6:34] point, but I would remind

[6:36] you that the pass-through

[6:38] funds that you receive are

[6:39] from the federal highway

[6:40] administration and your

[6:42] systems, as my comments are,

[6:44] arrest in the context of the

[6:46] civil rights act of 1964,

[6:47] which prohibits

[6:48] discrimination based on

[6:49] race, color, national

[6:51] origin, and your system is

[6:52] inequitable as it relates to

[6:54] the bus stop shelters and

[6:54] amenities.

[6:55] So I actually am against

[6:56] that.

[6:57] I know that travis county

[6:59] will be looking at this item

[7:00] tomorrow and I'm also

[7:02] against the red line parkway

[7:03] trail funding.

[7:05] It's about $2 million that's

[7:07] in the same call for

[7:07] projects.

[7:09] So I just would ask you to

[7:11] take a look at the north

[7:13] lamar area in particular and

[7:15] to ceo dottie watkins, I

[7:16] just want to remind you that

[7:18] the mid block stops need to

[7:19] be closed on lamar,

[7:27] especially at yager where

[7:28] MR. [Indiscernible] Was

[7:29] killed in JULY 25.

[7:31] Same area as MR. Norton in

[7:33] 2026 on or about

[7:34] JANUARY 30th, he was hit and

[7:37] then he died from his

[7:37] injuries.

[7:39] His service dog lived.

[7:40] those are my comments as it

[7:42] relates specifically to this

[7:42] item.

[7:44] I'm not sure whether the

[7:45] action item.

[7:47] I told MR. Easton the item I

[7:48] would speak on.

[7:49] I would ask you to be

[7:50] transparent on why you

[7:52] removed the summary of

[7:53] comments so that actually

[7:56] aligns with your minutes.

[7:58] That is in my view

[7:58] discrimination and I would

[7:59] ask you to be transparent on

[8:01] why you no longer put our

[8:02] comments in the board

[8:02] packet.

[8:04] If you have any questions I

[8:05] would gladly answer them at

[8:06] this time and would ask for

[8:07] guidance as it relates to

[8:08] the public hearing.

[8:09] >> Travillion: all right.

[8:11] Board members, do we have

[8:12] questions?

[8:13] Do we have any questions?

[8:15] All right.

[8:18] Thank you, it MS. Joseph.

[8:20] Also, is there anyone else

[8:22] that would like to address

[8:23] the board here during the

[8:24] public comment period?

[8:25] Anyone else that would like

[8:30] to address the board?

[8:31] Oh, this is the action item,

[8:32] not public comment.

[8:35] Let me take that back and

[8:36] ask if there are no

[8:37] questions, the chair will

[8:38] entertain a motion to

[8:40] approve action item number

[8:45] 1.

[8:46] Okay.

[8:47] All right.

[8:49] It's been moved and properly

[8:51] seconded that we approve

[8:53] action item number 1.

[8:55] Any further discussion?

[8:57] Any further discussion?

[9:00] any further discussion?

[9:02] Hearing none, all in favor

[9:04] of approving action item

[9:05] number 1.

[9:06] And I need to make sure that

[9:07] our board members are on

[9:08] camera.

[9:10] I see both board members on

[9:10] camera.

[9:13] All in favor of approving

[9:15] item number 1, please let it

[9:17] be known by saying aye.

[9:19] >> [Chorus of ayes].

[9:21] >> Travillion: all right.

[9:24] And so it looks like I have

[9:29] four ayes and I will make it

[9:29] unanimous.

[9:31] So action item number 1 has

[9:32] been approved.

[9:35] Thank you.

[9:38] Now let me go back -- we

[9:41] called to order at 12:22.

[9:45] Now we will move into on

[9:48] presentation for the public

[9:49] hearing, which should be

[9:51] before public comments.

[9:52] All right.

[9:55] So let's put the

[9:55] presentation together.

[10:01] That will be peter braden to

[10:03] present.

[10:05] >> good afternoon, chair

[10:06] travillion, PRESIDENT And

[10:07] ceo watkins and members of

[10:08] the board.

[10:11] My name is peter brentton, I

[10:12] am a senior community

[10:13] engagement coordinator here

[10:15] on behalf of the CapMetro

[10:17] team working on improving

[10:18] our fare programs.

[10:19] I hope for your health and

[10:20] safety you can remembered to

[10:23] book your valentine's day

[10:23] reservations.

[10:26] I am here today to present

[10:29] on who topics, the day past

[10:33] retirement and the farebox

[10:33] replacement.

[10:34] >> health and safety.

[10:35] >> yes.

[10:36] Before we get into depth I

[10:38] want to point out that these

[10:40] two items, while distinct,

[10:41] go hand in hand.

[10:45] They're linked.

[10:46] That perspective -- from

[10:47] that perspective we expect

[10:47] that customers will

[10:51] experience this as one

[10:51] change.

[10:52] That's important because

[10:53] we've been making strategic

[10:54] steps over the past few

[10:56] years to modernize our

[10:57] technology, improve the

[10:58] experience for our

[10:59] customers, and simplify the

[11:01] options when it comes to

[11:05] fares.

[11:06] Now, we'll start by talking

[11:07] about the day pass

[11:08] retirement and the farebox

[11:09] replacement, however, I want

[11:11] to provide you one piece of

[11:14] information out of order.

[11:15] Our fareboxes are 20 years

[11:19] old.

[11:22] Revenge of the sith, the

[11:24] ipad shuffle, the first

[11:25] video ever posted to

[11:26] YouTube.

[11:28] Technology has changed a lot

[11:30] since 2025 and considering

[11:32] the unfathomable advances in

[11:33] technology since the time

[11:35] our fareboxes were first

[11:38] installed, we have been able

[11:39] to identify and evaluate

[11:41] options for our customers to

[11:42] improve their experience and

[11:45] hopefully provide them more

[11:45] value.

[11:47] You'll see that we're

[11:49] talking about time based

[11:50] versus account-based payment

[11:51] systems on this slide, and

[11:54] there are a lot of words.

[11:55] What's important to note is

[11:57] that we are currently

[11:58] operating both of these

[12:00] systems at once and our

[12:01] momentum is towards

[12:02] operating only one.

[12:05] That is for simplicity,

[12:06] efficiency and a better

[12:08] experience for our

[12:10] customers.

[12:11] If you use a paper pass

[12:15] today, you are using the

[12:15] time-based system.

[12:18] When you activate or dip the

[12:20] paper pass, a timer starts,

[12:21] and you are able to swipe

[12:23] that pass as valid fare

[12:25] media for the time that that

[12:26] timer is active.

[12:29] If you use a reloadable fare

[12:32] card or the umo app, you are

[12:33] using the account-based

[12:34] payment system.

[12:35] You pay per ride and you are

[12:37] capped at certain amounts,

[12:42] certain thresholds.

[12:44] That paper pass, when you

[12:47] activate it, you steadily

[12:47] lose value.

[12:49] I like to think of it as an

[12:50] hour glass.

[12:51] You can only buy a specific

[12:54] amount of sand and you only

[12:55] have a specific amount of

[13:00] time to use it.

[13:01] If you lose the pass, if you

[13:03] get sick, if you decide I

[13:05] would rather take an uber

[13:06] home, you lose value.

[13:09] However, in contrast the

[13:10] account-based payment system

[13:13] lets you put in only as much

[13:15] sand as you need at one

[13:19] time, and if you lose your

[13:21] phone or the reloadable fare

[13:22] card you don't lose the

[13:23] value that you've put in so

[13:25] long as you've registered.

[13:27] It's recoverable.

[13:27] Considered the benefits for

[13:29] our customers, we've been

[13:30] making strategic steps over

[13:32] the past few years to

[13:34] prepare for a full

[13:36] transition from the

[13:37] time-based payment system to

[13:38] an account-based payment

[13:38] system.

[13:40] We are now at the point

[13:41] where we will make a big

[13:44] leap and retire the

[13:45] time-based payment system

[13:47] for all of our fixed route,

[13:50] local and commuter services.

[13:51] Here is a simple summary of

[13:53] the changes we are proposing

[13:58] to the fare structure.

[14:00] Local and community fares

[14:02] will see a removal of the

[14:03] time-based products and the

[14:05] capping of the thresholds

[14:07] stated explicitly rather

[14:10] than as references to the

[14:11] time-based pass product.

[14:13] There's also clarifications

[14:16] made to make pickup a

[14:19] discrete fare and state that

[14:20] fare capping does not apply

[14:22] to that service, codifying

[14:23] our current practice while

[14:25] we explore options for fare

[14:26] capping on pickup.

[14:28] We've also added language to

[14:29] define the intervals for

[14:31] fare capping with a daily

[14:34] fare cap being assessed

[14:36] during the service day and a

[14:38] monthly fare cap being

[14:40] assessed during a calendar

[14:41] month.

[14:45] We conducted a title six

[14:45] fair equity analysis in

[14:46] accordance with our fare

[14:47] policy because we're

[14:48] changing out the system

[14:49] works.

[14:50] Title vi studies are used to

[14:52] calculate whether changes in

[14:55] policies, programs or

[14:57] services from organizations

[15:00] receiving federal funding do

[15:01] not discriminate against

[15:03] people based on race, color

[15:04] or national origin as

[15:08] required by the title vi of

[15:09] the civil right act of 1964.

[15:11] The key findings of the

[15:13] study we conducted showed

[15:15] that more than 97% of all

[15:17] trips made using the service

[15:19] would not see a fare change,

[15:20] with fewer than three

[15:22] percent of all trips

[15:23] affected.

[15:25] These are trips made with

[15:27] day passes, purchased with

[15:30] cash on our buses or at

[15:31] ticket vending machines.

[15:33] If you are a customer that

[15:35] currently pays with cash for

[15:37] day passes and you ride

[15:37] frequently, you will

[15:39] actually benefit by

[15:41] transitioning to the umo app

[15:43] or the reloadable fare card

[15:44] because you get access to

[15:47] daily and monthly fare

[15:47] capping.

[15:50] We studied the impact of day

[15:51] pass retirement on two

[15:53] groups as part of the fair

[15:55] equity analysis, minority

[15:56] customers and low income

[15:57] customers.

[15:58] They then looked to see

[16:01] whether those groups MAY see

[16:02] disproportionate negative

[16:04] impacts or if those groups

[16:06] wouldn't receive

[16:07] proportionate benefits.

[16:10] When we viewing the impacts

[16:11] to minority customers we see

[16:12] no disparate impact.

[16:14] The impact we do see is

[16:16] minor with a less than two

[16:17] percent difference in the

[16:18] impact between minority

[16:21] customers and non-minority

[16:22] customers.

[16:23] When reviewing the impacts

[16:24] to low income customers, we

[16:26] see no disproportionate

[16:27] burden either.

[16:31] The impact we do see again

[16:32] is minor with less than two

[16:33] percent difference in the

[16:35] impact between low income

[16:37] and non-low income

[16:38] customers.

[16:38] Okay.

[16:40] Now I will move on to our

[16:41] farebox replacement, but

[16:43] before I do, I want to note

[16:44] that this year will be the

[16:48] 20th anniversary of the

[16:50] nintendo wii.

[16:52] Our farris boxes --

[16:56] >> you didn't say mtv.

[16:58] >> our fair boxes need to be

[16:59] replaced.

[17:01] They are no longer party r.

[17:01] Supported by the

[17:03] manufacturer and a new

[17:04] system will lower our

[17:05] ongoing costs of good

[17:06] repair.

[17:09] Knowing that an account an

[17:10] based payment system

[17:11] improves the customer

[17:11] experience and therefore

[17:13] planning for the retirement

[17:16] of the time-based payment

[17:17] system, we made the

[17:18] strategic decision to align

[17:20] the farebox replacement and

[17:21] day pass retirement.

[17:24] Our new validaters offer

[17:25] improved payment options

[17:27] that allow for fare capping

[17:29] such as the fare card and

[17:31] recently tap to pay, though

[17:34] tap to pay is only daily

[17:37] fare capping.

[17:38] There we go.

[17:40] The new fareboxes will still

[17:42] accept cash as payment for

[17:43] single rides.

[17:45] We do encourage customers

[17:49] who pay with cash to use a a

[17:51] reloadable fare card or the

[17:53] umo cap that ensures they

[17:54] will receive maximum value

[17:56] with daily and monthly fare

[17:57] capping.

[17:59] At the upcoming board

[17:59] meeting on the 23rd we

[18:01] will be asking the board to

[18:02] approve these fare structure

[18:03] changes.

[18:05] If approved, we will end all

[18:08] purchases of day passes

[18:10] starting MARCH 1st and

[18:11] sales of day passes on buses

[18:16] and tv ms, ticket vending

[18:17] machines, in early MAY and

[18:19] stop accepting paper parses

[18:22] on our buses JUNE 1st.

[18:23] Installation of the new

[18:24] fareboxes would span roughly

[18:26] from JUNE 1st to SEPTEMBER 1st and we

[18:29] expect to end our paper pass

[18:30] exchange program at the end

[18:31] of the calendar year.

[18:33] The exchange program is

[18:34] still in development.

[18:36] We expect to launch it

[18:38] before JUNE.

[18:38] Thank you very much.

[18:39] I hope the information was

[18:40] helpful.

[18:41] Happy to answer any

[18:43] questions you MAY have.

[18:44] >> Travillion: board

[18:46] members, do we have any

[18:49] questions?

[18:50] Yes, go ahead board member

[18:51] vela.

[18:52] >> Vela: thank you, chair.

[18:53] What percentage of our

[18:54] customers are still using

[18:56] cash?

[18:58] >> that is a great question.

[19:01] I MAY lean on some of my

[19:03] colleagues here in the room.

[19:05] I know -- we can follow up.

[19:06] >> Vela: great.

[19:07] I know it's a small

[19:09] percentage, but just out of

[19:10] curiosity I was wondering

[19:14] how many folks it is.

[19:15] >> Travillion: okay.

[19:17] Any additional questions?

[19:20] if there's no questions,

[19:22] additional questions?

[19:24] Hearing none, thank you, but

[19:25] you might want to stay close

[19:26] because I will open up the

[19:30] public hearing and we'll

[19:34] take up public comments on

[19:36] the fares item and give the

[19:36] general public an

[19:37] opportunity to tell us

[19:38] whatever they want to tell

[19:38] us.

[19:39] >> thank you.

[19:40] >> Travillion: so let's

[19:41] see, I understand we have

[19:43] one speaker who has signed

[19:44] up in advance.

[19:46] Let's see, can we call

[19:47] MS. Joseph back.

[19:49] >> MS. Joseph, did you want

[19:50] to make additional comments

[19:59] today?

[20:00] >> Travillion: is she

[20:01] still with us?

[20:06] >> yes, I'm on the line.

[20:08] Thank you, MR. Chair.

[20:09] Okay.

[20:11] Thank you, MR. Chair,

[20:12] members.

[20:12] I'm zenobia joseph.

[20:15] I wanted to make my comments

[20:16] in the context of title vi

[20:18] of the civil rights act of

[20:19] 1964, which prohibits

[20:20] similar education based on

[20:21] race, color, national

[20:22] origin.

[20:24] I do see you have a title vi

[20:26] fare equity analysis on page

[20:28] nine of 86.

[20:30] However, it is disingenuous

[20:31] for your staff member to say

[20:32] that fewer than three

[20:33] percent of the trips are

[20:34] affected.

[20:36] Especially for people who

[20:37] MAY take more than two trips

[20:38] a day or twice a day.

[20:40] I want to remind you that

[20:44] cap remap JUNE 3rd, 2018,

[20:45] eliminated north, east,

[20:46] west, connectivity so

[20:47] starting there you already

[20:48] know that people have to

[20:50] take more than two buses to

[20:52] get anywhere if you are

[20:53] northeast of U.S. 183.

[20:55] I want you to recognize that

[20:58] your origins and

[20:58] destinations survey from

[21:01] 2023, there's a good article

[21:03] in the austin monitor by

[21:05] nina hernandez, OCTOBER 6,

[21:06] 2023, that specified that

[21:08] african-american riders are

[21:09] the most transit dependent

[21:11] and it went up to 88%.

[21:14] So the question is did you

[21:16] actually analyze what impact

[21:17] this would have on

[21:18] african-americans in

[21:18] particular?

[21:19] And then the immigrants that

[21:22] are northeast of U.S. 183

[21:24] and the hispanic riders too.

[21:27] I want to remind you that it

[21:28] was MARCH 25, 2024, when

[21:30] your service analysis

[21:35] manager jennifer govea said

[21:36] if a passenger needs three

[21:38] vehicles to get to their

[21:38] destination they're counted

[21:39] three times.

[21:42] So you are double and triple

[21:42] counting the minority

[21:43] population and specifically

[21:45] she said, quote, this is

[21:47] part of our federal funding

[21:49] allocation and our formula

[21:51] for receiving funds from the

[21:53] fta, unquote, federal

[21:53] transit, administration.

[21:57] I do want you to recognize,

[21:57] MR. Chair, that this does

[22:00] have a disparate impact on

[22:01] african-americans and low

[22:04] income riders a

[22:04] disproportionate burden.

[22:06] If you are asking people to

[22:07] pay 1 fiscal year $25 per

[22:12] ride, that's $1.25, 250 for

[22:13] just going on two buses

[22:15] before they even get to

[22:15] work, that's about five

[22:16] dollars.

[22:17] They have to get back,

[22:18] that's about ten dollars

[22:20] round trip.

[22:21] That's more than the actual

[22:22] commuter pass.

[22:24] I want to remind you that

[22:25] the commuters also ride free

[22:28] on game days when the train

[22:29] is too full and they can't

[22:34] even get to the farebox on

[22:35] the 803 metro rapid.

[22:38] I would ask you to table

[22:40] this item, do the analysis

[22:41] appropriately as opposed to

[22:43] selling the system to us as

[22:44] though it's the best thing

[22:45] since sliced bread.

[22:47] I want you to recognize that

[22:48] you already have arguments

[22:50] between the unhoused people

[22:53] and people who get on the

[22:55] bus and you have the

[22:55] 20-year-olds and students

[22:57] who have no id because you

[22:59] haven't enforced it.

[23:00] This is discriminatory and I

[23:01] would ask you to recognize

[23:03] that more needs to be done

[23:04] to make the system equitable

[23:06] as opposed to diminishing

[23:09] the service and treating us

[23:10] like second class citizens.

[23:12] If you have any questions, I

[23:13] would gladly answer them at

[23:15] this time, but your analysis

[23:17] is flawed because it does

[23:18] not take in consideration

[23:20] the routes that very

[23:22] eliminated by roberta

[23:22] gonza

[23:24] lez, who was there when

[23:24] she made her presentation to

[23:26] the board, and it is time

[23:27] for him to retire.

[23:29] If you have any questions,

[23:30] i'll gladly answer them at

[23:30] this time.

[23:32] Thank you for allowing me to

[23:32] make my comments.

[23:33] >> Travillion: board

[23:34] members, do you have any

[23:35] questions?

[23:36] Do you have any questions?

[23:40] Hearing none, thank you very

[23:41] much for your presentation.

[23:43] >> thank you, MR. Chair.

[23:44] >> Travillion: is there

[23:45] anyone else in the audience

[23:47] that would like to address

[23:49] the board?

[23:51] Any other -- any other -- do

[23:54] we have any calls, ed?

[23:55] Okay.

[23:56] So without anyone who wants

[23:59] to make a presentation in

[24:01] the audience, without any

[24:03] additional calls, then I

[24:05] will call this meeting -- I

[24:07] will close this meeting at

[24:10] 12:46.

[24:12] 12:46.

[24:15] Any questions or

[24:15] observations?

[24:16] [Pounding of gavel].

[24:17] All right, the meeting is

Board of Directors on 2026-02-11 12:00 PM - Public Hearing on Bus Farebox Replacement Project and Special Board Meeting
