          [CALL TO ORDER]
          [00:00:03]
          GOOD EVENING, UH, JARED HALL, TRANSIT MANAGER. 
          I'D LIKE TO CALL TO ORDER THE JANUARY 21ST MEETING OF THE TRANSIT ADVISORY COMMITTEE. 
          WE'RE CURRENTLY AWAITING OUR ACTING CHAIR. 
          WE'LL HOPEFULLY BE HERE IN A FEW MINUTES. 
          YES. 
          BUT AARON, WOULD YOU MIND TAKING ROLL CALL FOR US, PLEASE? UM, ABRAMS HERE. 
           RO HERE. 
          HEEL HERE. 
          TAR HERE. 
          UH, VAZQUEZ IS GOOD DAY HERE. 
          QUINT HERE. 
          AND OUR ACTING CHAIR. 
          UH, CHAIR ABRAMS NOW WITH US. 
          UM, BUT OUR FIRST 
          [PRESENTATIONS]
ITEM FOR THE NIGHT IS WE HAD TWO PRESENTATIONS. 
          DEB FOX FROM THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE IS HERE TO GIVE US AN UPDATE AND PRESENTATION ON THE PETALUMA BLUEPRINT FOR CLIMATE ACTION. 
          BEFORE WE GET STARTED, CAN WE, UM, TURN, MIC OFF? ALL RIGHT. 
          UH, HELLO EVERYONE. 
          UH, MY NAME IS DEB FOX. 
          I'M THE CITY'S NEW CLIMATE ACTION MANAGER. 
          UH, AND I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT, UH, THE BLUEPRINT FOR CLIMATE ACTION. 
          UH, AS WE LIKE TO CALL IT. 
          THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GETTING OURSELVES, UH, READY FOR, TO READ THAT, REACH THAT, EXCUSE ME, REACH THAT 2030 GOAL OF, UH, BEING CLIMATE READY. 
          AND IT'S A BIG GOAL TO, YOU KNOW, INCLUDING THINGS OF REHABILITATING OUR ECOLOGICAL BALANCE, RESTORING ECONOMIC STABILITY, AND ACHIEVING CARBON NEUTRALITY. 
          AND SO WHAT I'M GONNA DO IS LAY OUT, UH, HOW WE'RE GONNA DO THAT. 
          UH, FOR THOSE OF YOU, I, THE CLIMATE ACTION, UH, OR EXCUSE ME, THE BLUEPRINT CAME TO YOU ALL AS A, UH, DRAFT DOCUMENT. 
          UM, SO I WON'T SPEND TOO MUCH TIME ON, ON THIS SLIDE, BUT IT IS THE CITY'S CLIMATE ACTION PLAN. 
          UH, AND IT BASICALLY FINDS A SHARED VISION FOR CLIMATE ACTION OF WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO AS A COMMUNITY. 
          AND, UH, IT BUILDS OFF OF THE PRIORITIES OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE CLIMATE ACTION COMMISSION AD HOC WORK. 
          AND IT BLENDS IN WITH A LOT OF THE DIFFERENT PLANS, UH, THAT ARE UNDERWAY WITHIN THE CITY OR GOING TO BE, UM, HAPPENING. 
          SO IT'S A SHORT RANGE PLAN. 
          IT, UH, THE FINAL DRAFT WAS APPROVED IN NOVEMBER. 
          UH, AND, UH, JUST SOME THINGS TO JUST, I, I LIKE TO LEVEL SETTLE. 
          A LITTLE BIT OF THE BLUEPRINT IS, UH, ABOUT GREENHOUSE GAS MITIGATION. 
          THE CLIMATE ADAPTATION PIECES FALL UNDER THE, UH, GENERAL PLAN. 
          UH, SO MOST OF THIS IS GONNA BE FOCUSING ON, YOU KNOW, TRANSPORTATION, WHICH IS WHY I'M HERE, UH, WASTE REDUCTION, RENEWABLE ENERGY. 
          AND THEN THE, THE OTHER BIGGER ELEMENTS FALL UNDER THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE. 
          UH, THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SLIDES, UM, AND I'LL JUST, UH, QUICKLY TRANSLATE IT FOR YOU. 
          BUT IF WE STAY AT BUSINESS AS USUAL AS HOW WE ARE CURRENTLY ACTING, WE'RE, WE'RE GONNA SEE AN INCREASE IN OUR, UH, GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. 
          THERE'S SOME ADJUSTED BUSINESS AS USUAL THAT COMES WITH, UM, INCENTIVES AND REBATES. 
          UH, BUT REALLY THE, WHAT DOES IT TAKE IS REALLY GETTING US OUT OF BUSINESS AS USUAL. 
          AND, UH, AND THAT IS REALLY RETHINKING HOW WE, UH, WORK AND LIVE AND ACT, UM, AS A COMMUNITY. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE TO DO IS OUTLINE, UH, WHAT WE ALL ARE GOING TO BE DOING, UH, TO REACH THIS GOAL. 
          AND MY FAVORITE, UH, WAY TO DESCRIBE IT IS TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK . 
          UH, BUT IT REALLY IS UTILIZING THE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS AMAZING COMMUNITY, THE CONNECTIONS WE HAVE AND THE RESOURCES. 
          UM, INTERNALLY, UH, WE HAVE TEAMS THAT WE'RE BUILDING WITHIN THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE. 
          I, UH, REPORT, UH, TO PATRICK CARTER, WHO IS THE ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER, AND WE HAVE A MANAGEMENT ANALYST. 
          [00:05:01]
AND THAT COMPRISES THE CITY MANAGER'S MAIN TEAM THAT'S WORKING ON, UH, CLIMATE ACTION. 
          UH, THE EXECUTIVE TEAM IS WORKING ON THIS. 
          WE HAVE BLUEPRINT COORDINATORS THAT WILL BE IN EVERY DEPARTMENT. 
          UH, AND THEN WE HAVE OUR COMMITTEES, COMMISSIONS, AND BOARDS, WHICH OF COURSE, YOU ALL ARE ONE. 
          AND I'M DOING THE SAME PRESENTATION TO ALL OF THEM. 
          UH, AND YOU ALL ARE THE CONDUIT TO THE PUBLIC, UM, AND TO THE CITY IS HOW I SEE THE CCBS, UH, REALLY HELPING DO THIS IMPLEMENTATION. 
          AND THEN WE HAVE OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS, UH, AND I LIKE TO CALL THIS AN ACTION CYCLE WHERE WE HAVE ANNUAL GOALS THAT HAVE BEEN LAID OUT IN THE BLUEPRINT. 
          UH, WE'RE WORKING IN TEAMS. WE MAP AND MATCH, UH, WHAT RESOURCES, UH, THAT WE HAVE AND WHICH ONES WE NEED IN TERMS OF POLICIES AND PROGRAMS AND FUNDING. 
          UH, AND THEN WE OBVIOUSLY BEGIN TO IMPLEMENT AND WE MONITOR AND SHARE THOSE OUTCOMES. 
          AND EVERY YEAR WE WILL BE DOING A SIMILAR, UH, PROCESS AS IT RELATES TO ALL OF THE ACTIONS THAT ARE OUTLINED. 
          AND SO, SOME OF THE CITY PRIORITIES FOR THIS YEAR, OBVIOUSLY, IS THAT, UH, STAFFING IS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT. 
          UH, BUILDING OUT THOSE, WE ARE GONNA BE, UH, MONITORING AND TRACKING, UH, AS IT RELATES TOSTAN, UH, STATE STANDARDS, BUT ALSO GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. 
          AND THEN THE STRAIGHT UP BLUEPRINT MONITORING. 
          UH, IT'S A VERY LARGE, UH, UH, SPREADSHEET THAT IS ALSO DONE IN MONDAY SO THAT WE CAN TRACK WHAT ACTIONS ARE UNDERWAY AND WHICH ONES ARE HAPPENING WHEN, UH, EDUCATION WILL BE DOING INTERNAL STAFF LUNCH AND LEARNS. 
          UH, WE VOLUNTEER DAYS FOR, UH, THE EMPLOYEES. 
          UH, OTHER THINGS THAT WILL INVOLVE THE STAFF IS CLIMATE ACTION ROUNDTABLES. 
          UH, AND THEN WHAT I'M DOING RIGHT NOW IS GOING OUT AND ENGAGING ALL OF THE CCBS, UH, PROJECTS THAT ARE, INCLUDE THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE. 
          UH, WE HAVE EV FLEET ELECTRIFICATION AS IT RELATES TO THE CITY FLEET, UH, AND IMPLEMENTING OR LOOKING AT, UH, INSTALLING, CHARGING EVERYWHERE THAT WE CAN TO SUPPORT THE, THAT FLEET. 
          WE HAVE OUR URBAN FORESTRY PLAN THAT'S GONNA BE ROLLING OUT. 
          THIS IS JUST A SAMPLING OF THE PROJECTS THAT ARE, UH, UNDERWAY. 
          UH, THERE'S A SCHOOL ZONE RESILIENCE AND MOBILITY HUB PROJECT THAT I'LL SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE OF AS WE GET, UH, TO WHAT THE CLIMATE ACTION COMMISSION IS HELPING WITH. 
          UH, AND THEN THE CLIMATE ACTION COMMISSION HAS BROKEN OUT INTO AD HOCS. 
          AND THE WAY THAT THEY'RE DOING THEIR AD HOCS IS THEY'RE CONVENING AS A, UH, BOARD ON THE SECOND THURSDAY OF THE MONTH AT SIX O'CLOCK. 
          THEY THEN, IN THE MEETING, WILL PAUSE THE MEETING AND BREAK OUT INTO THEIR AD HOCS SO THAT THE PUBLIC, UH, AND CAN COME AND PARTICIPATE IN THE ELEMENTS THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME. 
          IN THIS CASE, SOME OF THESE ARE SHORT TERM, UH, PROJECTS THAT THEY'LL BE DOING, AND SOME OF THEM ARE GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT LONGER, LIKE THE TRANSPORTATION ONE, UH, AD HOC, IT'S ACTUALLY TRANSPORTATION. 
          AND, UH, NATURAL RESOURCES, UH, NATURAL SYSTEMS AND SEQUESTRATION ARE OVERLAID BECAUSE THAT TRANSPORTATION ONE RELATES TO STREET TREES AND, UH, GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE AND, UH, RELATED TO ROAD IMPROVEMENTS. 
          AND THEN THIS IS WHERE TRANSPORTATION, THE TRANSIT COMES INTO IT IS COORDINATING, UH, BUSES AND, UH, MICRO TRANSIT, THE LUMA GO, ALL THOSE THINGS. 
          67% OF OUR GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS COME FROM HOW WE CHOOSE TO GET AROUND. 
          AND THIS IS REALLY WHERE THE BIGGEST IMPACT IS THAT WE CAN ALL MAKE AS IT RELATES TO OUR BEHAVIORS AS EMPLOYEES, AS INDIVIDUALS, AS STUDENTS, UH, AS BUSINESSES, WHEN WE CHOOSE TO GO SHOPPING. 
          HOW WE GET THERE. 
          UH, I'M KIND OF PREACHING TO THE CHOIR AS IT RELATES TO THIS ONE, AS YOU ALL KNOW. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, GETTING PEOPLE TO REALIZE THAT THE TAKING A BUS, UH, IS A WAY TO BE IN COMMUNITY BECAUSE YOU'RE AROUND OTHERS AND YOU GET A CHANCE TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE DO THE DRIVING, IS WHAT I LIKE TO TELL PEOPLE. 
          LIKE, YOU CAN DRINK YOUR COFFEE WITH EASE. 
          ANYWAYS, THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF UNDER TRANSPORTATION. 
          THAT IS WHAT IT'S A, IT'S A LARGE COORDINATED EFFORT THAT WILL BE HAPPENING THERE. 
          UH, UNDER WASTE, UH, THEY'LL BE WORKING, UH, THIS IS ONE OF THE SHORTER TERM GOALS, IS A DISPOSABLE FOOD WEAR ORDINANCE IS THE PIECE THAT THE AD HOC IS WORKING ON UNDER ENERGY, WHICH INCLUDES THE BUILDINGS. 
          IT'S, UH, THEY'RE GOING TO, UH, IT'S, UH, ANOTHER SHORTER TERM. 
          ONE IS THE SONOMA CLEAN POWERS EVERGREEN CAMPAIGN, WHICH IF, UH, RIGHT NOW WE ONLY HAVE 4% PARTICIPATION IN THE CITY IS A PARTICIPANT IN THE CLEAN, UH, SNOW CLEAN POWERS EVERGREEN CAMPAIGN. 
          THAT IS THE CLEANEST ENERGY THAT WE CAN, UH, HAVE DELIVERED TO US. 
          UH, IT'S GENERATED, UM, PRIMARILY WITH, UM, UH, HYDROPOWER, UH, UH, AND IT'S, IT'S CLEAN ENERGY. 
          AND SO THAT'S A BIG ONE THAT WE CAN HAVE A REAL, A A SIMILAR TO TRANSPORTATION. 
          WE HAVE A, WE MAKE A BIGGER CUT IN THE GREENHOUSE 
          [00:10:01]
GAS EMISSION PIE BY ALL OF US BEING ON GREEN, UH, EVERGREEN CAMPAIGN, OR FOR ENERGY, SORRY. 
          UH, AND THEN WE HAVE PUBLIC EDUCATION, UH, COMING AS, UH, THERE'S A, IT'S CALLED FEST PETALUMA. 
          UH, IT'S GOING TO BE ON SUNDAY, MAY 4TH. 
          IT'S IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COOL PETALUMA PETALUMA CITY SCHOOLS. 
          UH, THE TREE ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS DOING THEIR ARBOR DAY ON THAT DAY. 
          THE CLIMATE ACTION COMMISSION IS ORGANIZING ALL OF THE WORKSHOPS. 
          UM, SO WE'RE BUILDING OFF OF COOL PETALUMA'S, UH, INITIAL, UH, PROGRAM TO DO PUBLIC EDUCATION. 
          THAT, OF COURSE, IS AN ANNUAL EVENT. 
          UH, SO THAT'LL BE COMING, UH, IN MAY. 
          AND SO THIS THEN BRINGS ME, UH, TO YOU ALL, UH, WHICH IS THE CALL TO ACTION FOR WHAT IT RELATES TO TRANSPORTATION, TRANSIT. 
          UH, AND SOME OF THIS IS UNDERWAY. 
          WE OBVIOUSLY, UH, HAVE OUR AMAZING FREE, UH, FAIR PROGRAM ALREADY, UH, IMPLEMENTED. 
          UH, BUT COMING THIS YEAR, UH, THE SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN IS, UH, GONNA BE HAPPENING, UH, CONDUCTING SURVEYS, UH, FOR THE EXISTING TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE AND WHAT IMPROVEMENTS ARE NEEDED. 
          I WAS JUST EXPLAINING TO STAFF EARLIER THAT I WAS, UH, AT AN EVENT AT A HIGH SCHOOL, UH, AT CASA WHERE THE KIDS WERE WORKING ON THE GENERAL PLAN, AND THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEIR TRANSPORTATION NEEDS WERE. 
          AND IT WAS PRICELESS, WHAT I WAS HEARING. 
          AND I WAS LIKE, OH, THIS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA GAUGE MORE OF OUR COMMUNITY TO REALLY HELP US, UH, UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO SHIFT PEOPLE, UH, TO TRY TO TAKE OTHER MODES OF TRANSPORTATION. 
          UH, ADDITIONAL GOALS AS OUTLINED IN THE BLUEPRINT INCLUDE, UM, TRANSIT SERVICE PLANNING, UH, AND WHERE WE CAN INCREASE LEVELS OF SERVICE AND, UH, TRANSIT, UH, PLANNING FOR FUNDING AS IT RELATES TO THE, UH, BIKE PED NETWORK. 
          AND THAT IS WHERE, OBVIOUSLY, I WILL GO BE GOING TO SPEAK TO THE, UH, PEDESTRIAN BIKE ADVISORY COMMITTEE IN, UH, FEBRUARY, 'CAUSE THEY DID NOT MEET IN JANUARY. 
          AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE CONTINUED REGIONAL COORDINATION AND PARTNERSHIP THAT STAFF ALREADY DOES, UM, IS A, A KEY ELEMENT TO HAVING THIS SHIFT HAPPEN. 
          UM, AND THEN YOU ALL AS A COMMITTEE, UH, ONE OF THE KEY PIECES IS THE, THE CLIMATE ACTION COMMISSION WOULD, WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE COME AND PARTICIPATE IN PARTICULAR ON THAT, UH, GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE MOBILITY HUB, UH, CONVERSATION THAT THEY'RE TA UNDERTAKING AS IT RELATES TO TRANSPORTATION IS WHAT YOU, THE EXPERTISE THAT YOU ALL REPRESENT ON THAT GROUP AS THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE GET MORE LIKE EV CHARGING, HOW WE COORDINATE TRANSPORTATION, UH, AND THAT, YOU KNOW, I WENT TO THE TREE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, INVITED THEM TO COME AND SPEAK ABOUT WHAT STREET TREES, UH, THE IMPORTANCE, ALL OF THAT. 
          THAT'S WHY THAT'S A MUCH BIGGER PROJECT. 
          UM, IT IS BEING DONE, UH, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH, UH, SONOMA COUNTY TRANSIT AUTHORITY. 
          UH, WE ARE PART OF A, A PARTNERSHIP PROJECT TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE CAN DO, UH, GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE AND COORDINATED TRANSPORTATION AROUND SCHOOLS AND THE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PROGRAM. 
          AND SO THAT IS WHAT WE'LL BE WORKING ON AS, UH, AN AD HOC. 
          AND, UH, IDEALLY IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE, IF ONE OF YOU OR A COUPLE OF YOU ARE INTERESTED OR AVAILABLE ON THE SECOND THURSDAY, OH, I APOLOGIZE, IT HAS THE WRONG, UH, THURSDAY UP THERE. 
          I JUST NOTICED THAT IT'S THE SECOND THURSDAY OF THE MONTH AT 6:00 PM UH, SO MY APOLOGIES. 
          UH, AND THEN FUTURE FEST IS ANOTHER GREAT WAY TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY ON, UM, HELPING THEM LEARN ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE AND VALUE OF, OF TRANSPORTATION OTHER THAN, UH, CARS AS, UH, YOU KNOW, LUMA GO AND, UM, BUSES. 
          SO IT'LL BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND AND OR PARTICIPATE IN THAT. 
          AND THEN, UH, THERE'LL BE CLIMATE ACTION ROUND TABLES, UH, COMING UP. 
          THAT DATE WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON. 
          IT'S A GREAT WAY TO, AGAIN, SHARE KNOWLEDGE AND RESOURCES. 
          UH, AND THEN MY FAVORITE JUST IS BECAUSE IT, IT'S ALL OF US DOING THIS TOGETHER. 
          WHAT YOU CAN DO AS AN INDIVIDUAL, AGAIN, I'M SPEAK, SPEAKING TO THE CHOIR ABOUT TAKING TRANSIT TO YOUR NEXT SHOPPING TRIP, LUNCH, UH, WORK, WHATEVER WAY. 
          IT'S A, IT'S A REALLY GREAT WAY TO MODEL, UH, THE BEHAVIOR WE WANT TO SEE IS ENCOURAGING AND TAKING SOMEONE WHO'S EVER BEEN ON TRANS TRANSIT, UH, TO TAKE A TRIP WITH YOU, UH, IT REALLY SHOULD SAY BUY OR LEASE. 
          AN EV IS A, IS A BIG ONE, UH, THAT WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE AS, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AS, UH, THE WAY TO, UH, CUT OUR GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS ALSO INCLUDES PLANTING CARBON GARDENS, WHICH IS, UH, PLANTING TREES OR PLANTS THAT, UH, HELP US, UH, CAPTURE 
          [00:15:01]
CARBON OUT OF THE AIR. 
          SO THERE'S A CARBON GAR CARBON CARBON GARDEN CAMPAIGN THAT WILL BE COMING FORTH THIS YEAR, OR HELPING OTHERS PLANT ONE. 
          AND YOU CAN GET INVOLVED WITH THE ORGANIZATIONS LIKE DAILY ACTS THAT DO THAT. 
          UM, OTHER ACTIONS INCLUDE, OBVIOUSLY ELECTRIFYING YOUR HOME OR SIGNING UP FOR THAT SONOMA CLEAN POWER, EVERGREEN. 
          UH, COMPOSTING IS A REALLY BIG ONE, UH, THAT WE ALL, UH, CAN DO, WHICH IS TO PUT IT IN OUR, UH, COMPOST BIN, OR USE IT IN YOUR GARDEN IS EVEN A BETTER ONE. 
          AND, UH, ONE THING THAT I, I'VE BEEN TELLING EVERYONE THAT THERE'S A BOOK CLUB COMING ABOUT A BOOK THAT IS, UH, CALLED WHAT IF WE GET IT RIGHT, THAT IS A REALLY INSPIRING BOOK ABOUT SOME CLIMATE, WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO DO CLIMATE ACTION AND, AND, UH, THE MOST POSITIVE COLLABORATIVE WAYS. 
          UH, IT'S A GREAT BOOK CLUB THAT THEY'VE, UH, PUT TOGETHER THAT I RECOMMEND IF YOU, UH, TO READ THE BOOK OR LISTEN TO THE POD, UH, THE AUDIO BOOK OF, AND THEN I'LL END IT THERE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE IDEAS COME IN, WHERE WE WORK TOGETHER AND WE SOLVE, UH, BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION. 
          SO I'M OPEN, IF YOU HAVE IDEAS OF THINGS YOU WANT, PLEASE CONSIDER COMING TO THAT CLIMATE ACTION COMMISSION MEETING. 
          FEEL FREE TO EMAIL OR CALL ME. 
          AND I'M HERE FOR QUESTIONS, IF YOU HAVE ANY. 
          I HAVE A QUESTION. 
          I WONDER IF THERE'S ANY CONVERSATION ABOUT REACHING OUT TO RENTERS AS A, AS A PART TO HOMEOWNERS. 
          UH, I RENT AND, UM, I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO OUTSIDE GARDEN. 
          I DON'T HAVE ANY EASY ACCESS TO EV CHARGING STATIONS. 
          AND A LOT OF TIMES WHEN I HEAR THESE TYPES OF PRESENTATIONS, THEY SEEM TO BE FOCUSED ON, THIS IS WHAT YOU CAN DO AT YOUR HOME. 
          AND NOT REALLY NECESSARILY, EXCEPT FOR TAKE THE BUS, YOU KNOW, WHAT RENTERS CAN DO. 
          IS THERE ANY CONVERSATION, EVEN IN THE LARGER MOVEMENT OF HOW TO GET RENTERS TO HELP IN THIS, UM, IN THIS EFFORT? GREAT QUESTION. 
          UM, YES. 
          THE ANSWER IS YES. 
          UH, THAT SNOW, CLEAN POWER, UH, EVERGREEN IS EVERYONE PAYS AN ELECTRIC BILL CAN CHOOSE THAT. 
          THAT IS ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT WHETHER YOU'RE A RENTER OR A HOMEOWNER, YOU CAN DO. 
          UM, AS IT RELATES TO THE ACTUAL ELECTRIFICATION, IT DOES GET A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED AS, AND THERE IS, UH, CONVERSATIONS HAPPENING REGIONALLY ABOUT HOW TO HELP, UH, LANDLORDS, UH, ELECTRIFY. 
          AND THEN ON THE HOMEOWNER'S SIDE, THERE, THERE ARE MORE SIMPLE THINGS LIKE, UM, WE'VE DONE THIS IN OUR HOUSE, WE'VE TURNED OFF OUR GAS AT OUR STOVE AND PUT A PIECE OF WOOD ON TOP, AND WE HAVE AN INDUCTION, AN INDIVIDUAL INDUCTION STOVE, TOP ON TOP. 
          AND SO THERE ARE THINGS THAT RENTERS CAN DO. 
          IT IS SOMETHING THAT, UH, IS A CO MORE COMPLICATED AS IT RELATES TO ELECTRIFYING. 
          IT IS A KNOWN BARRIER, UH, BUT WE'RE ALWAYS WORKING ON IT. 
          AND THAT IS THE THING THAT, UH, THE COUNTY LEVEL WE'RE PART OF THE REGIONAL CLIMATE, UH, PROTECTION AGENT AUTHORITY, SORRY. 
          UH, OUR CPA, THAT IS A COMMUNITY MONTHLY, UH, JURISDICTIONAL MEETING THAT WE GET TOGETHER. 
          AND THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE ALWAYS TRYING TO OVERCOME. 
          AND THAT'S WHERE, ON THE ELECTRIFICATION OR THE, UH, EV CHARGING SIDE, UH, THERE IS A LOT OF EFFORT BEING PUT FORTH RIGHT NOW ON THE REGIONAL PLANNING SIDE, UH, FOR THAT COMMUNITY. 
          WHAT'S CALLED COMMUNITY CHARGING. 
          UH, WE'RE GETTING LOTS MORE HERE IN TOWN. 
          ALL, UM, ALL THE TIME. 
          THERE'S A, UH, EV GO IS GETTING PUT IN, UM, AT THE SHOPPING CENTER WHERE TRADER JOE'S AND RAYLEY'S IS, UH, THE CITY IS LOOKING AT, UH, PUBLIC CHARGING AND ALL THE PLACES THAT WE CAN DO THE UPGRADES. 
          SO THAT ONE IS ONE THAT WE ARE, UH, ALL AS A COMMUNITY, UH, AGAIN, TRYING TO OVERCOME ALL THE BARRIERS THAT DO EXIST AND LOOKING AT CREATIVE SOLUTIONS. 
          AND THAT'S PART OF WHAT THAT, UH, AD HOC, UH, THAT'S DOING THE INFRASTRUCTURE, GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE, THAT'S PART OF WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT AS WELL. 
          I'VE GOT A QUESTION. 
          UM, SO I THINK SIMILAR TO THE, THE QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED, UM, A LOT OF THE TIMES I DO SEE THAT THESE CONVERSATIONS ARE GEARED TOWARDS HOMEOWNERS. 
          AND I'M FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE A MORTGAGED HOME AND LIVE IN ONE, BUT I KNOW A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THAT I KNOW ARE RENTERS, BUT ALSO OF COLOR. 
          AND IT'S A CONSTANT CYCLE THAT I'VE SEEN THAT WHEN WE ATTEND THESE MEETINGS OR THAT WE, WE ENGAGE IN THESE MEETINGS, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT LOOK LIKE ME. 
          AND I, I WANNA KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN WAYS TO SORT OF MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY'RE AT INSTEAD OF FEELING THAT THEY NEED TO COME TO A PRESENTATION AND THEY'RE SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE THAT THEY DON'T KNOW, OR PERHAPS IT'S EVEN A LANGUAGE BARRIER TO THEM. 
          AND SO, 
          [00:20:01]
IS YOUR QUESTION ARE ARE, IS THE CITY GONNA BE DOING, UH, OUTREACH TO VARIETY OF POPULATIONS? IS THAT THE, IS IT MORE OF A QUESTION OR A STATEMENT? I GUESS I WASN'T QUITE FOLLOWING RIGHT. 
          SORRY. 
          UH, MORE OF A QUESTION. 
          UM, JUST I GUESS I WAS TRYING TO BE A LITTLE MORE BROAD WITH HOW WE SEE THESE MEETINGS AND HOW HOPEFULLY WE WOULD SEE THIS SORT OF STEP BE IN MEETINGS GOING FORWARD. 
          YEAH, WE WILL THERE. 
          THAT IS ONE OF THE MAIN ELEMENTS THAT THE BLUEPRINT OUTLINES IS THE EQUITY, UM, ELEMENT. 
          AND SO THAT IS DEFINITELY A PART OF THE COMMUNITY. 
          WHEN I WAS OUTLINING ALL THE TEAMS, THAT'S WHERE THE COMMUNITY PARTNERS COME IN. 
          UH, WE'RE WORKING WITH GROUPS LIKE CAFE PUENTE AND THE MCDOWELL FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER AND SCHOOLS. 
          THIS IS REALLY WHERE IT IS. 
          MEETING EVERYONE WHERE THEY'RE AT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS. 
          BUT I CALL THIS MY ENERGY, UH, GENERATION WHERE I'M GOING OUT AND DOING PRESENTATIONS AND GETTING THE WHEELS WORKING. 
          AND PART OF IT IS, UM, STARTING HERE WITH OUR, AS I MENTIONED, YOU ALL ARE OUR, UH, CONDUIT TO THE PUBLIC. 
          SO THIS IS JUST THE START OF A VERY, UH, COMMUNITY ACTIVATION THAT WILL BE HAPPENING. 
          THANK YOU. 
          MM-HMM . 
          ALRIGHT. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE THOSE WERE ALL THE QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FOR OUR FIRST PRESENTATION, MADAM CHAIR. 
          UH, WHILE WE'RE TRANSITIONING FROM THE FIRST PRESENTATION, UH, THANK YOU, DEB. 
          THAT WAS GREAT. 
          TO THE SECOND ONE, WE DIDN'T DO PUBLIC COMMENT, SO IT MAY BE A GOOD TIME TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. 
          DURING GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          THE PUBLIC IS INVITED TO MAKE COMMENTS ON ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST THAT ARE WITHIN THE COMMITTEE'S SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, AND THAT ARE NOT LISTED ON THE CURRENT AGENDA. 
          PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE LIMITED UP TO THREE MINUTES PER PERSON, DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF PERSONS WISHING TO ADDRESS THE COMMITTEE. 
          TIME WILL BE ALLOCATED IN EQUAL SHARES, TOTALLY NO MORE THAN 20 MINUTES SUBJECT TO THE COUNCIL'S DISCRETION. 
          SO I'M OPENING GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          UH, AND IF THERE ARE ANY SPEAKERS, PLEASE BRING YOUR CARD TO THE CLERK'S DESK. 
          UH, IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY, THANK YOU. 
          BUT NO   AND WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY COMMENT OVER EMAIL EITHER, MR. CHAIR. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO, SO FOR OUR NEXT PRESENTATION, UM, THIS WAS ACTUALLY BASED ON A REQUEST THAT WE RECEIVED AT THE LAST TAC MEETING. 
          UH, CARLY'S GONNA GIVE US A PRESENTATION ON SOME OF THE GREAT WORK THAT SHE'S BEEN DOING FOR OUR BUS STOP INVENTORY. 
          CARLY? YEAH. 
          SO MY NAME IS CARLY SPENCER. 
          I'M THE TRANSIT PLANNER, ONE FOR PETALUMA TRANSIT. 
          AND TODAY I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A QUICK PRESENTATION ON HOW WE'RE KEEPING TRACK OF ALL OF OUR BUS STOPS, UM, HOW WE UPDATE OUR INVENTORY, HOW WE PRIORITIZE STOPS AND NEEDS OF IMPROVEMENT, AND HOW THOSE IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE. 
          SO THE CITY USES A PROGRAM CALLED GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM OR GIS AND THIS IS A SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS US TO CUSTOMIZE A MAP HOWEVER WE LIKE, WITH THE ABILITY TO OVERLAY INFORMATION ON THAT MAP. 
          UM, SO THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE GIS MAP THAT WE USE TO KEEP ALL OF OUR INVENTORY FOR THE CITY'S BUS STOPS. 
          UM, THIS MAP INCLUDES OUR BUS ROUTES, THE PARATRANSIT SERVICE AREA, THE CITY LIMITS, AND THEN OF COURSE THE BUS STOPS. 
          AND THOSE ARE REPRESENTED BY THE LITTLE, LIKE WHITE DOTS ON THE SCREEN. 
          SO WHEN YOU CLICK ON ONE OF THESE WHITE DOTS, UM, THE SYSTEM PULLS UP SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON THAT STOP. 
          THIS INFORMATION BOX WILL TELL, WILL TELL US THE STOP ID, THE LOCATION DIRECTION, WHETHER OR NOT THE STOP IS SHARED WITH ANOTHER AGENCY. 
          AND EVEN THE STOPS COORDINATES. 
          AND THIS IS WHERE WE TRACK CRITERIA SUCH AS THE SHELTER TYPE AND CONDITION LIGHTING, SIGN TYPE, TRASH CAN TYPE CONDITION, AD SPACE, AVAILABILITY, AND LIKE MANY MORE THINGS. 
          UM, AND ALSO YOU CAN SEE AT THE BOTTOM HERE, UM, WE ATTACH PHOTOS OF EACH SHELTER. 
          UM, AND IN ADDITION TO THOSE PHOTOS, UM, WE LIKE TO DO IN ADDITION TO LIKE JUST THE SHELTER, WE'LL DO PHOTOS OF THE SURROUNDING AREA AND THE STREET DESIGN AROUND IT. 
          SO WE'RE ABLE TO MAKE INVENTORY UPDATES 
          [00:25:01]
ON THE GIS WEBSITE OR IF WE'RE OUT IN THE FIELD ALREADY, WE CAN USE THE ARC GIS FIELD MAPS APP. 
          UM, THIS APP ALLOWS US TO UPLOAD NEW PICTURES AND NOTE ANY CHANGES TO THE BUS STOPS WHILE WE'RE THERE, AS OPPOSED TO UPLOADING THE INFORMATION BACK AT THE OFFICE. 
          UM, SO WE UPDATE ALL OF OUR STOPS ABOUT ONCE A YEAR. 
          AND TO MAKE THAT EASIER, I'VE DIVIDED THE CITY UP INTO FOUR ZONES WITH AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF STOPS IN EACH ZONE. 
          AS YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IN THIS PICTURE, IT'S A LITTLE LIKE BLURRY, BUT THESE ARE THE FOUR DIFFERENT ZONES LAID OUT IN THE CITY. 
          SO CURRENTLY OUR AMAZING INTERN JACK HAS BEEN TAKING LEAD ON BUS STOP INVENTORY UPDATES. 
          UM, SO I JUST WANTED TO SHOW EVERYONE HIS PROGRESS SO FAR, SO FAR. 
          SO ALL THE LITTLE BLUE DOTS ON THIS MAP, UM, REPRESENT STOPS THAT HAVE BEEN RECENTLY UPDATED. 
          UM, THIS PROCESS CAN TAKE A WHILE BECAUSE WE HAVE 194 STOPS RIGHT NOW THAT WE SERVICE, AND HE'S ALREADY SURVEYED OVER 50 STOPS IN THE PAST WEEK. 
          SO ONCE HE'S COMPLETED A FULL INVENTORY UPDATE, WE WILL BE ABLE TO ASSESS AND PRIORITIZE ANY CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE MADE. 
          UM, SOME OTHER RESOURCES WE USE TO GET INFORMATION ON THE CONDITION OF OUR STOPS, UM, IS CUSTOMER COMMENTS AND OUR MAINTENANCE CREW. 
          SO ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC IS ABLE TO LEAVE COMMENTS ON OUR WEBSITE ABOUT OUR SERVICE OR STOPS. 
          AND THIS CAN BE REALLY HELPFUL IF THERE'S ANY GRAFFITI OR DAMAGE THAT WE AREN'T AWARE OF. 
          UM, WE ALSO HAVE, OH, WHOOPS, SORRY. 
          UM, WE ALSO HAVE OUR IN-HOUSE MAINTENANCE TEAM AND OS UM, OUT IN THE FIELD DAILY WORKING ON OUR SHELTERS. 
          AND WE CREATED THIS FORM, UM, SO THEY CAN FILL IT OUT ON THEIR PHONES OR THEIR TABLETS TO NOTIFY US OF ANY NEW DAMAGES OR SAFETY CONCERNS. 
          AND WHEN THIS FORM IS FILLED OUT, UM, AN EMAIL IS SENT DIRECTLY TO ME AND I CAN ASSESS THE SEVERITY OF THE DAMAGE. 
          LASTLY, I WANTED TO MENTION THAT OUR DRIVERS ARE ALSO CON INSTRUCTED TO LET US KNOW IF THERE'S ANY POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES WHEN THEY'RE ON THE ROAD. 
          SO WITH ALL THESE RESOURCES REPORTING TO US, WE'RE ABLE TO KEEP TRACK OF ALL THE STOPS. 
          AND THEN AFTER GATHERING ALL THIS INFORMATION, WE CAN BEGIN TO MAKE STOP IMPROVEMENTS. 
          UM, SO I KEEP A LIST OF A RUNNING LIST OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE, AND I CAN PRIORITIZE THEM BASED ON THEIR LOCATION, RIDERSHIP SEVERITY OF THE IMPROVEMENT AND THEIR EXISTING CONDITION. 
          HOWEVER, WHEN WE DO COME ACROSS A SAFETY OR ACCESSIBILITY CONCERN, THAT WOULD BECOME TOP PRIORITY AND THEY WOULD BE SENT, THAT WOULD BE SENT TO THE CITY'S STREETS TEAM IMMEDIATELY. 
          AND ONCE THE LESS IMMEDIATE STOP IMPROVEMENTS ARE PRIORITIZED, WE CAN GO AHEAD AND CREATE WORK ORDERS, UM, THAT WE SEND OFF TO OUR MAINTENANCE TEAM, THE CITY'S TEAM, OR OUR CONTRACTED WORK CREW, DEPENDING ON THE NEEDS OF THE JOB. 
          UM, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? I DO HAVE A QUESTION. 
          UM, SO WHERE THERE ARE SHARED STOPS, IS PETALUMA TRANSIT RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE THAT ARE INSIDE PETALUMA, OR IS RESPONSIBILITY SHARED? UH, HOW DOES THAT WORK? WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ONES INSIDE PETALUMA. 
          SO YOU CAN MAKE THE DECISIONS ABOUT THOSE STOPS? YES, THAT'S CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          JUST THANK YOU. 
          THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU CARLY, UH, MADAM CHAIR, THAT COMPLETES OUR PRESENTATIONS FOR TONIGHT AND I BELIEVE WE'RE ON 
          [APPROVAL OF MINUTES]
TO APPROVAL OF MINUTES NEXT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, UM, DOES ANYONE IN THE COMMITTEE HAVE ANY CHANGES THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE TO THE MINUTES FROM OUR LAST MEETING, WHICH WAS NOVEMBER 18TH, 2024. 
          ALRIGHT, THEN I APPROVE. 
          I APPROVE. 
          IT SAYS CHAIR APPROVES. 
          I'M APPROVING IT. 
          OKAY. 
          WITHOUT, WITHOUT CHANGES AS PRESENTED. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU AGAIN. 
          SO, UH, WE HAVE 
          [PUBLIC HEARINGS AND MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION]
ONE ITEM OF BUSINESS TONIGHT, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ACTUALLY DID A FEW MONTHS AGO. 
          IT'S THE APPOINTMENT OF THE CHAIR AND THE VICE CHAIR FOR TRANSIT ADVISORY COMMITTEE. 
          PEOPLE MAY BE AWARE THAT WE'VE HAD A FEW RECENT CHANGES HERE ON THE COMMITTEE. 
          WE'RE ACTUALLY ONE MEMBER SHORT AT THE MOMENT. 
          HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE A NEW MEMBER APPOINTED AT THE NEXT 
          [00:30:01]
COUNCIL MEETING. 
          AND THAT REASON IS BECAUSE OUR FORMER TAC MEMBER IS NOW COUNCIL MEMBER QUINCE. 
          AND SO HE WAS ELECTED RECENTLY TO CITY COUNCIL AND WE'RE FORTUNATE TO HAVE HIM BACK AS OUR LIAISON THROUGHOUT THE CALENDAR YEAR FOR 2025. 
          I'LL COME BACK COUNCIL MEMBER QUINT, BUT WE DO HAVE A VACANCY AS A RESULT, BOTH ON THE BENCH HERE, WHICH WE'LL HAVE SOMEONE SOON. 
          AND THEN OF ALSO IN THE CHAIR POSITION BECAUSE, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER QUINT WAS THE FORMER CHAIR, THAT POSITION NOW VACATED. 
          AND SO THIS ITEM IS BACK BEFORE US AGAIN TONIGHT TO WHERE WE'LL BE APPOINTING THE CHAIR AND THE VICE CHAIR THAT'LL RUN THROUGH THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR. 
          AND THEN WE'LL DO AN APPOINTMENT SHORTLY THEREAFTER ONCE WE HAVE NEW MEMBERS SEATED THROUGH THE FULL APPLICATION PROCESS. 
          AND SO THIS ITEM TONIGHT, WE'RE LOOKING TO FILL BOTH OF THOSE POSITIONS. 
          OF COURSE, THE CHAIR IS A MAIN POSITION THAT PRESIDES OVER THESE MEETINGS, UM, DOES THE GENERAL TEMPO OF THE MEETINGS, WALKS US THROUGH THE AGENDA, AND THEN THE VICE CHAIR ACTS IN THEIR STEAD TO HELP CHAIR THE MEETING IF THE CHAIR ISN'T ABLE TO MAKE IT. 
          AND SO THOSE ARE THE TWO ITEMS WE HAVE, UM, TO FILL TONIGHT. 
          AND OF COURSE, OUR MEETING TIMES, IT'S A GOOD REMINDER TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT OUR MEETING TIMES CHANGED A FEW MONTHS BACK. 
          WE'RE NOW MEETING THE THIRD TUESDAY OF THE MONTH HERE IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS FROM FIVE TO 7:00 PM AND SO WITH THAT, UH, MADAM CHAIR, I PASS IT BACK TO YOU. 
          ALRIGHT, SO WE DO HAVE THE ITEM OF APPOINTMENT OF THE CHAIR AND THE VICE CHAIR. 
          AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYBODY IS INTERESTED IN FILLING EITHER OF THOSE ROLES. 
          IT'S LIKE IT'S, I'M INTRODUCING THE ITEM AND INVITING THE STAFF TO PRESENT. 
          SO THE PRESENTATION WAS JUST GENERALLY THE SPEECH THAT I PROVIDED. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT USUALLY AT THIS POINT, IT CAN BE ONE OF TWO THINGS. 
          PEOPLE CAN NOMINATE ANOTHER PERSON OR THEY CAN EVEN SELF NOMINATE THEMSELVES FOR EITHER OF THOSE. 
          TYPICALLY YOU CAN DO 'EM BOTH AT ONCE, BUT TYPICALLY WE'VE DONE 'EM IN ORDER CHAIR FIRST, VICE CHAIR IS HOW IT'S GONE HISTORICALLY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO LET'S BEGIN WITH THE CHAIR. 
          DOES ANYBODY WANT TO NOMINATE ANYBODY INCLUDING THEMSELVES? ARE, ARE THERE ANY, UH, SELF NOMINATIONS? I GUESS MY, SORRY, THAT'S A QUESTION TO THE GROUP. 
          UH, UH, I'M, I'M, YOU KNOW, I, I HAVE A COUPLE OF IDEAS IN TERMS OF WHO I MIGHT NOMINATE. 
          UM, BUT BEFORE DOING SO, I, I'M CURIOUS IF THERE'S ANY SELF NOMINATIONS. 
          IS THERE ANYBODY INTERESTED IN THE JOB IN THE, IN THE CHAIR OR ANYBODY WHO WOULD QUIT IF THEY WERE NOMINATED?   OR, I I, YOU KNOW, I GUESS IT'S A REAL QUESTION. 
          IS THERE ANYONE WHO YOU KNOW, WOULDN'T WANT TO BE NOMINATED? IF THERE, IF THERE'S, IF THERE ARE NO SELF NOMINATIONS, I GUESS, UH, UM, THOSE ARE JUST THE THOUGHTS THAT WERE GOING THROUGH MY MIND, I WOULD, UM, JUST PUT THAT, UM, MISS ABRAM'S NAME OUT THERE AND WOULD CERTAINLY SUPPORT HER AS THE CHAIR FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS OR WHATEVER IT IS. 
          SO, JULY, WOULD YOU BE WILLING,  I WOULD BE WILLING, I WOULD CONSIDER THAT MY PERFORMANCE OF THIS EVENING IS NOT A GOOD, A STRONG RECOMMENDATION. 
          , I'M HAVING TROUBLE READING THIS, SO, WELL, IF IT'S ANY CONSOLATION, IF I MAY ADD SOME COMMENTARY, UM, IT'S ALL, IT'S DIFFICULT THE FIRST TIME YOU DO IT. 
          UM, BUT I, I WOULD, I WOULD SAY THAT, UH, IN SUPPORT OF FRED'S, UM, QUESTION, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, MS. ABRAMS, YOU'VE COME TO OUR MEETINGS, YOU KNOW, PREPARED WITH FEEDBACK AND INPUT, UH, YOU KNOW, VERY OFTEN. 
          AND, UH, AND I THINK YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF PETALUMA TRANSIT, I MEAN, YOU'RE A USER OF THE TRANSIT AND YOU, YOU, YOU EXPERIENCE IT AND, UH, AND YOU COME TO THE MEETINGS WITH THOUGHTS AND IDEAS AND I, AND I THINK, UH, YOU, YOU WOULD DO GREAT. 
          UM, AND WE WOULD NOT JUDGE YOU ON  HOW WELL YOU READ THE, AN ANNOTATED SCRIPT. 
          UM, SO IF THAT'S ANY, ANY CONSTELLATION, AGAIN, IT'S JUST COMMENTARY, UH, MY PART THAT'S VERY KIND OF YOU. 
          SO I THINK PERHAPS AT THIS POINT THERE AREN'T ANY MORE NOMINATIONS FOR CHAIR. 
          WE COULD TAKE A VOTE ON THE CHAIR POSITION 
          [00:35:01]
AND THEN GO TO VICE CHAIR IF THERE'S A MOTION AS SUCH. 
          I WOULD, I WOULD, UH, MOVE FOR, UH, I WOULD MAKE A MOTION FOR MS. ABRAMS TO BE, UH, NOMINATED AS CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE. 
          AND SECOND, I'LL SECOND. 
          SECOND . 
          ALRIGHT, WE'LL TAKE THE ROLL CALL. 
          VOTE PLEASE. 
          UH, ABRAMS ABSTAIN. 
          COLE ROSS? YES. 
          HUGH? YES. 
          TAR? YES. 
          VASQUEZ IS A YES. 
          QUINT? YES. 
          MOTION CARRIED. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          AND ON TO VICE CHAIR. 
          OKAY. 
          SO AS WITH THE CHAIR, DOES AN, WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO, UM, MAKE A NOMINATION, WHICH COULD BE A SELF NOMINATION? OR DOES ANYONE HAVE SOME THOUGHTS THEY WANTED TO SHARE ABOUT THE VICE CHAIR ROLE? I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE ERIC VASQUEZ AS VICE CHAIR. 
          UH, I WILL ACCEPT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER NOMINATIONS? JUST WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO MOVE? I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO NOMINATE, UH, UH, MR. ERIC FOR THE VICE CHAIR FOR THE COMMITTEE. 
          I SECOND. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          AND WE'LL TAKE THE ROLL CALL VOTE ON THAT ITEM. 
          ABRAMS. ABRAMS. YES. 
          RO? YES. 
          HILL? YES. 
          TAR? YES. 
          VAZQUEZ IS A GOOD DAY. 
          YES. 
          QUINT? YES. 
          MOTION CARRIED. 
          WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND CONGRATULATIONS, UH, TO THE NEW CHAIR AND THE NEW VICE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE. 
          LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU. 
          AND THAT COMPLETES OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR TONIGHT, MADAM CHAIR. 
          OKAY, NOW WE ARE ON TO, UH, COMMITTEE COMMENT, NOT TURNING ON. 
          NOW WE'RE ON TO COMMITTEE 
          [COMMITTEE COMMENT]
COMMENT. 
          UH, MEMBERS ARE INVITED TO BRIEFLY SHARE UPDATES RELEVANT TO THIS COMMITTEE, INCLUDING LIAISON REPORTS FROM OTHER CITY BODIES AND MAKE REQUESTS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. DIALOGUE BETWEEN MEMBERS SHOULD BE LIMITED TO CLARIFYING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS AND THERE'S NO PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM. 
          SO WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO, UH, COMMENT THIS EVENING? UH, I HAD A, OH, GO AHEAD, . 
          THANK YOU. 
          I HAD A COMMENT. 
          UM, I GOT A CHANCE TO SEE THE NOVEMBER MEETING 'CAUSE I WASN'T ABLE TO ATTEND LAST TIME. 
          AND I WANTED TO CIRCLE BACK ON, ON GAIL'S COMMENT ABOUT, UM, WHEN WE WERE GONNA SEE OR HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM REGARDING USAGE OF OUR STATIONS AND, AND WHAT WE CAN SEE OR WHAT WE CAN MODIFY OR WHAT WE MAY BE SUBTRACTING DOWN THE LINE. 
          I'M SORRY, USAGE OF THE STATIONS. 
          MEANING WHICH ONES ARE BEING USED OR WHICH ONES WE CAN LOOK TO TO IMPROVE OR, YOU KNOW, INCREASE, UM, I GUESS, UM, AWARENESS OF WHICH STATIONS ARE BEING USED MORE FREQUENTLY FOR OUR BUS STATIONS. 
          YEAH, SO A COUPLE THOUGHTS WITH THAT. 
          I THINK AT THE NEXT MEETING WE CAN BRING FORWARD A, UM, REPORT WITH MORE DATA FROM THE GREAT WORK CARLY DOES ON THE BUS STOPS. 
          AND WE COULD DO A BRIEF, UM, HANDOUT TALKING ABOUT THE STOPS AND WHAT THE RIDERSHIP IS AT EACH. 
          SO WE COULD SEE THE HIGHEST USE LOCATIONS AND MAYBE EVEN SOME OF THE ONES THAT ARE PRIORITIZED BASED ON THE INVENTORY WORK THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED THAT'LL BE IMPROVED IN THE NEAR TERM. 
          SO I THINK WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT ITEM A BIT MORE. 
          UM, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE AN ITEM FAIRLY SOON BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE TO WHERE WE'RE HOPING TO RAMP UP FREQUENCIES ON ROUTES 11 AND TWO THAT SERVE TWO OF OUR MAJOR ARTERIALS ROUTE ROUTE 11, OF COURSE BEING THE WASHINGTON BUS ROUTE, THE EAST WEST PETALUMA CONNECTOR. 
          AND THEN ROUTE TWO BEING THE NORTH MCDOWELL ROUTE THAT ALSO SERVES THE NEW SMART THAT PETALUMA NORTH STATION THAT OPENED RECENTLY. 
          AND SO THAT WILL BE ANOTHER ITEM WE'LL BE PRESENTING IN THE FAIRLY NEAR TERM AS WELL THAT THE TEAM'S WORKING ON. 
          WE'LL GIVE YOU MORE BACKGROUND ON THAT. 
          IT'LL LET YOU KNOW THE TIMING OF INCREASING FREQUENCY TO RUNNING EVERY 15 MINUTES ON THOSE ROUTES, IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. 
          YES, THAT DOES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SURE. 
          MM-HMM . 
          UM, I'M WONDERING, UM, ABOUT, UM, A BRIEF UPDATE ON THE LUGO USAGES, UH, WONDERING IF PERHAPS WE COULD DO THAT NEXT TIME TO JUST, UH, RIDERSHIP 
          [00:40:01]
AND, UM, STOPS AND SO ON. 
          AND I, AND I JUST, I HAVE TO SAY THAT PART OF MY INTEREST IS I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN, IT'S A PILOT PROJECT, RIGHT? SO WHAT DECISIONS ARE GONNA BE MADE WHEN ABOUT WHETHER TO EXPAND IT? UM, AND UM, I KNOW THAT INVOLVES FUNDING AND STAFFING, BUT IF IT'S REALLY GOING WELL, UM, WOULD ANY DECISIONS ABOUT UM, LUGO POSSIBLY BE MOVED FORWARD SO THAT THERE'S MORE COVERAGE? YEAH, WE ARE ACTUALLY GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT JUST A FEW MINUTES. 
          THAT'S THE FIRST ITEM IN STAFF COMMENT. 
          SO HOPEFULLY IT'LL PROVIDE A LOT OF THAT INFO. 
          AND IF NOT, I THINK WE CAN, UH, HAVE A FOLLOW UP CONVERSATION BEYOND THAT POINT. 
          GREAT, THANK YOU. 
          SURE. 
          SO JUST CONTINUING DOWN THE ROW, UM, I HAD A COMMENT, IT'S PROBABLY TWO, BUT THEY'RE RELATED. 
          AND I WAS WONDERING HOW THINGS ARE GOING WITH THE CONTRACT, UM, BIDS, UH, FOR OUR OUTSOURCED DRIVERS AND SERVICE. 
          'CAUSE I KNOW THAT'S UNDERWAY AND WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THERE BEING AN AD HOC COMMITTEE, WHICH NOT. 
          SO WONDERING HOW THAT'S GOING AND IN REGARDS TO OUR, YOU KNOW, CLIMATE GOALS, UM, USING THE BUSES, CLEARLY KEY. 
          AND ONE OF THE THINGS DEB FOX REFERRED TO A FEW TIMES IN HER PRESENTATION WAS SHOPPING. 
          AND AS LONG AS SHOPPING CARTS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE BUSES, I WILL BE DRIVING TO THE GROCERY STORE PARTIALLY BECAUSE I HAVE A CAT AND THE CAT LITTER AWAYS SO MUCH . 
          UM, BUT I CAN'T CARRY MY GROCERIES HOME LIKE THIS. 
          I HAVE TOO FAR TO WALK FROM THE STOP. 
          AND I BELIEVE THAT WAS A CONTRACT ISSUE THAT, THAT, THAT THE SERVICE PROVIDERS DON'T WANT THE, THE GROCERY CART ON THE BUSES. 
          SO I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT'S PART OF OUR BIDS. 
          YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 
          SO I'LL ANSWER THE FIRST PART OF THAT AND UH, ASK MARIA TO HELP WITH THE SECOND PART. 
          SO IN TERMS OF THE TRANSIT OPERATION REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS, THAT IS STILL SOMETHING WE'RE WORKING ON AS A PRIORITY. 
          THAT GROUP WILL BE CONVENED IN THE FIRST HALF OF FEBRUARY AND THE RFP ISSUED IN FEBRUARY. 
          AND OF COURSE THAT'S THE BIGGEST CONTRACT THAT WE DO THAT DETERMINES WHO'S THE OPERATING CONTRACTOR FOR OUR SERVICE. 
          RIGHT NOW IT'S MV TRANSPORTATION, SO STAY TUNED AND THAT WILL BE PART OF THE DISCUSSION IS WHAT'S IN THE CONTRACT NOW, WHAT'S NOT AND NEEDS TO BE ADDED OR WHAT NEEDS TO BE MODIFIED. 
          SO THAT'LL BE PART OF THE DISCUSSION WE HAVE. 
          UH, MARIA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE LATTER PART ABOUT KIND OF GROCERIES AND CARTS ON BUSES? UM, WE DO CURRENTLY ALLOW A SMALLER BUS, UH, A SMALLER CART, BUT I THINK WE'VE, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN THE PAST THAT IT MIGHT NOT BE EXACTLY TO WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR, WHAT THE MAJORITY OF THE NEEDS ARE. 
          SO I DO THINK GOING WITH THE CONTRACT IS IDEAL INITIALLY SO THAT WE ENSURE THAT SPACE IS CONSISTENTLY AVAILABLE AS RIGHT NOW IT'S A LITTLE BIT DISCRETIONARY AS LONG AS IT'S OUT OF THE AISLE WAY AND CAN BE PUT INTO A SEAT AREA, WHICH AS YOU KNOW, AS A WRITER, THAT'S, THAT'S A PRETTY SMALL AREA. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO, UM, ONE OF THE THINGS WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT IS LOOKING AT BUSES IN TERMS OF MAYBE CHANGING THE PROCUREMENT ALSO, BUT THAT'S LIKE LONG, LONG TERM, BUT THAT'S HOW WE HAVE TO BEGIN TO THINK, RIGHT? LIKE, DO WE WANNA PUT A SPACE FOR THAT? BUT I THINK IT BEGINS WITH THE CONTRACT FOR SURE AS WELL. 
          THANK YOU BOTH. 
          UH, I'M GLAD THAT YOU BROUGHT UP THE GOING TO SHOP AND SHOPPING AND TAKING THE BUS, WHICH I SEE AS A BARRIER IN PETALUMA BECAUSE UH, UH, I THINK IT BRINGS UP THE CONVERSATION OF 15 MINUTE NEIGHBORHOODS, UM, AND, UM, HOW PEOPLE DO, UH, PARTICULARLY SOME OF THEIR, THE SHOPPING WHERE THEY GET THE MOST THINGS. 
          SO, UM, SO I'M GLAD THAT YOU BROUGHT THAT UP. 
          UH, I JUST WANNA MAKE A COMMENT THAT I AM GLAD TO SEE FRANK HERE AS OUR COUNCIL LIAISON, SO I ALSO WANNA WELCOME HIM BACK TO THE COMMITTEE AS THE LIAISON. 
          UH, I WANNA THANK GAIL AND ERIC FOR STEPPING INTO LEADERSHIP POSITIONS. 
          UH, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THAT. 
          I WAS AFRAID I MIGHT HAVE TO STEP UP. 
          SO THANK YOU , UM,  AND, UM, SO, UH, I THINK THAT'S ALL I WOULD, UH, LIKE TO ASK, UH, JARED, A QUESTION I DROVE BY THE BUS YARD TODAY JUST ON MCDOWELL AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S MANY, MANY BUSES IN THE AREA AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PICKING UP AC FOUR BUSES FROM AC AND I YOU, YOU MENTIONED THIS IN SOME, UH, ONE OF YOUR COMMENTS AND 
          [00:45:01]
ALSO THE FOUR ELECTRIC BOXERS, BUSES. 
          I KNOW YOU'RE, YOU'RE LOOKING FOR MORE SPACE, BUT JUST, JUST WHAT DO, WHAT DO WE DO WITH OUR LEFTOVER BUSES? UM, I SHOULDN'T SAY LEFTOVER. 
          I MEAN THERE ARE SOME IN THE YARD THAT PROBABLY AREN'T BEING USED. 
          AND DO WE HAVE, DO WE TRY TO PUT THOSE OUT THERE FOR USE SOMEPLACE? YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. 
          SO WE VERY MUCH DO, EVERY TRANSIT AGENCY HAS WHAT'S CALLED A SPARE RATIO TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EXTRA BACKUP VEHICLES THAT THEY'RE DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE, THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          IN OUR CASE, WITH OUR SMALLER PARATRANSIT CUTAWAY TYPE VEHICLES, WE RUN THOSE FOR EIGHT YEARS AND OUR LARGE FIXED ROUTE BUSES, WE RUN THOSE FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS. 
          WHEN THEY'RE AT THE END OF THAT LIFESPAN, WE DO ONE OF TWO THINGS. 
          THE FIRST IS WE OFFER THEM UP TO COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND NONPROFITS. 
          WE ACTUALLY HAD A BUS THAT WENT OUT ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND PRIOR TO THAT WE REACHED OUT TO SEVERAL NONPROFITS TO SEE IF THEY'RE INTERESTED IN THAT BUS BECAUSE IN THE PAST WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DONATE SIMILAR VEHICLES TO OTHER PEOPLE. 
          IN THIS CASE, THE BUS WAS NON OPERABLE, THE ENGINE ED FAILED A FEW MONTHS BACK AND SO IT DIDN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE FOR AGENCIES TO TAKE THAT ON. 
          SO WE DID THE NEXT BEST OPTION, THE SECOND ONE, WHICH IS AUCTIONING OFF THE VEHICLE. 
          AND SO WE SEND OUR VEHICLES TO JJK AND AUCTIONEERS OUT NEAR SACRAMENTO. 
          AND SO WE DON'T SEND OUT A WHOLE LOT BECAUSE WE HAVE A FAIRLY SMALL FLEET, BUT GENERALLY ONE TO TWO PER YEAR. 
          BUT IN TERMS OF OUR FIXED ROUTE FLEET, THAT ACTUALLY SHOULD BE 14 BUSES, BUT AT THE MOMENT WE'RE DOWN ABOUT THREE OF THOSE BECAUSE ONE OF THEM WAS TOTALED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, NUMBER 35, 1 OF THEM, THE ONE THAT WAS JUST SENT OUT HAD THE ENGINE FAILURE, THAT WAS NUMBER 34. 
          AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE, BUS NUMBER 42 THAT'S HAVING MECHANICAL ISSUES THAT WILL LIKELY BE RETIRING SOON. 
          SO ALTHOUGH WE'RE GETTING FOUR FROM AC TRANSIT, AS YOU SEE THE MANAGER'S REPORT, THAT ACTUALLY ONLY PUTS US AT PLUS ONE ONCE WE GET THAT BUS. 
          AND THEN OUR FOUR ELECTRIC BUSES THAT WE'RE ANTICIPATING IN JUNE, THOSE ARE ONE FOR ONE REPLACEMENT WITH OUR 2007 BUS FLEETS THAT'S GENERALLY INTENDED TO BE RETIRED ONCE THE NEW ELECTRIC BUSES ARRIVE AND THEY'RE ESTABLISHED AND UP IN SERVICE. 
          BUT YES, YOU'RE RIGHT, WE'RE TIGHT IN OUR YARDS SO WE DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR A LOT MORE BUSES, BUT THAT'S KIND OF THE BACKGROUND. 
          SO YOU ARE ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR SOME SPACE, BUT YOU'RE, THESE BUSES THAT YOU HAVE ARE ALREADY COMMITTED TO SOME, SOME OTHER, UH, BUS COMPANY OR AS YOU SAY, JUST IN RETIREMENT? YEAH, SO ONE OF THEM WAS TOTAL AND THAT'S BEEN GONE FOR A COUPLE YEARS. 
          THAT WAS SOLD FOR SCRAP, GIVEN THE CONDITION, ONE OF THEM WAS JUST SENT TO THE AUCTIONEER. 
          THE NEXT ONE WILL PROBABLY BE A COMBINATION OF THAT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS IS REACHING OUT TO THOSE NON-PROFITS TO SEE IF THEY WANT THE BUS. 
          AGAIN, IT'S NON OPERABLE, SO I WOULDN'T REALLY RECOMMEND IT. 
          YEAH, GIVEN THE COST NEEDED TO GET IT BACK IN THE SERVICE, BUT IF NOT, WE'LL PROBABLY SELL IT AS WELL AT AUCTION. 
          YEAH, IT JUST LOOKED A LITTLE, A LITTLE BUSY IN THE YARD THERE, BUT MAYBE I WAS JUST SEEING THE FRONT BUSES. 
          THERE MAY HAVE BEEN ROOM BEFORE, BUT I KNOW YOU'RE HAVING THE ELECTRICAL, ALL THAT UPKEEP AND YOUR BUILDING AND ALL THAT'S TAKING UP ROOM, SO I ASSUME YOU'RE GONNA NEED SOME SPACE SOMEWHERE. 
          YEAH, VERY MUCH SO. 
          ACTUALLY DURING THE DAY, THE YARDS MAYBE ABOUT 50% IN FULL WITH BUSES COMING IN, GOING OUT. 
          BUT AT NIGHTTIME EVERY SPOT IN THAT YARD IS FULL. 
          YEAH, IF YOU COME IN, YOU'LL SEE EVERY SPOT HAS A VEHICLE IN IT, BASICALLY JUST DON'T GET YOUR CAR IN THERE IN BETWEEN THEM. 
          . 
          UH, THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO DO IS THANK YOU FOR THE, UH, INFORMATION, THE PUBLIC TRANSIT NETWORK DESIGN. 
          I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND UH, UM, I CAN CERTAINLY SEE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IT AND THE LUMA GO AND HOW THAT ALL MELDS TOGETHER. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR THAT SENDING THAT OUT. 
          I ENJOYED IT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          UH, JUST LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS, UH, UM, COMMITTEE MEMBER COLE ROSS, APPRECIATE THAT. 
          I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE BACK. 
          UM, UH, IN TERMS OF UPDATES FROM THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, UH, NOT MUCH REALLY TRANSIT RELATED OTHER THAN, UM, THE THE REAPPOINTMENT OF ME BACK ON THIS COMMITTEE, UH, I'D LIKE TO SAY, YOU KNOW, I WAS, UH, I WAS THRILLED TO BE, UM, TO, TO GET THE WORD THAT I WOULD BE BACK ON TRANSIT AS WELL AS PAC AND, UH, PART OF THE REASON WHY I WAS EXCITED TO BE ON BOTH OF THOSE, I I THINK THERE'S, YOU KNOW, THERE'S DEFINITELY NICE COMPLIMENTARY CROSSOVER, UH, BETWEEN THE TWO, UM, THE THE TWO COMMITTEES. 
          UM, BUT ALSO IT REALLY IS, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE SOMEONE WHO, UM, IS, UM, INTERESTED IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE FROM A CLIMATE PERSPECTIVE, I THINK THESE ARE TWO REALLY GOOD, UH, YOU KNOW, AREAS OF FOCUS. 
          AND, UH, SO I WAS, I WAS EXCITED TO SEE THE PRESENTATION THIS EVENING FROM, UH, MS. FOX. 
          AND I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE US TO, YOU KNOW, AS WE'RE CONTINUING 
          [00:50:01]
TO, UH, PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO, UH, YOU KNOW, SORT OF BE THAT CITIZEN CONDUIT FOR, UM, THE CITY FROM A, FROM A TRANSPORTATION PERSPECTIVE, THAT WE, UH, YOU KNOW, CONTINUE TO DO THAT THROUGH A LENS OF, UH, CLIMATE CONSCIOUSNESS. 
          SO I, I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION AND THEN I, THE ONE QUESTION I HAD SIMILAR TO THE LUMA GO IS, UM, IF WE DON'T HAVE IT TONIGHT, UM, IF THERE'S, UH, AN UPDATE ON THE, THE, UH, THE REDWOOD BIKE SHARE. 
          I'M, I'M JUST CURIOUS IF WE HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON IF THERE'S, HOW WELL THAT'S GOING. 
          YEAH, VERY MUCH SO. 
          THERE'S ACTUALLY AN ITEM INCLUDED IN THE PACKET TONIGHT, WHICH IS THE FIRST BATCH OF RIDERSHIP STATS FROM REDWOOD BIKE SHARE. 
          AND PETALUMA IS CURRENTLY THE SECOND HIGHEST USAGE CITY IN THE CORRIDOR. 
          SO THAT'S REALLY EXCITING. 
          WE'RE BEHIND ROWAN NOR PARK, BUT WE'LL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THOSE STATS AND KIND OF A QUALITATIVE UPDATE AS WE HEAR THINGS ABOUT THAT PROGRAM. 
          BUT SO FAR, SO GREAT, BASED ON WHAT WE'RE HEARING. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO NOW, UH, WE ARE MOVING ON TO STAFF 
          [STAFF COMMENT]
COMMENT AND WE HAVE THE, UM, TRANSIT MANAGERS REPORT. 
          YEAH. 
          THANK YOU AGAIN, MADAM CHAIR. 
          UH, FIRST I WOULD ACTUALLY LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT. 
          UH, SOME OF YOU MAY NOTICE THAT WE HAVE A NEW PERSON IN OUR AUDIENCE TONIGHT. 
          SHE'S A NEWEST MEMBER OF THE CITY OF PETALUMA PETALUMA TRANSIT TEAM. 
          HER NAME IS KAMI SULLIVAN. 
          AND, UH, KAMI, WOULD YOU MIND JUST SAYING HI AND MAYBE GIVING YOURSELF A BRIEF, UH, INTRO FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE GROUP? YEAH. 
          HI EVERYONE, MY NAME IS, SORRY, I'M BAD AT MIKE'S, UM, . 
          MY NAME IS KEMI SULLIVAN. 
          I ALSO GO BY MIMI, SO WHATEVER YOU PREFER. 
          UM, THIS IS MY THIRD WEEK. 
          UM, I'LL BE WORKING ON GRANTS AND FINANCE. 
          UM, I'M NEW TO THE TRANSIT WORLD. 
          I USED TO WORK FOR A NONPROFIT BEFORE THIS, SO I WORKED IN GRANTS, BUT, UM, TRANSIT, IT'S VERY NEW TO ME, BUT I'M VERY EXCITED TO LEARN. 
          UM, I'M ALSO COMING FROM SONOMA STATE, UH, WHERE I WORKED IN HOUSING, UM, AND I'M A PET ILLUMINATIVE, SO I, I AT LEAST HAVE THE BENEFIT OF KNOWING THE AREA A LITTLE BIT. 
          SO I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE TONIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NO PROBLEM. 
          THANKS CAMMI AND CAMILLE WILL BE HELPING US OUT WITH A LOT OF OUR GREAT, GREAT GRANTS, FINANCES, UH, REGULATORY THINGS, OF WHICH THERE'S MANY ON THE TRANSIT SIDE, SO WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE HER ON BOARD WITH US. 
          UH, SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I KNOW PEOPLE WERE EXCITED TO GET AN UPDATE ON LUMA GO. 
          SO MARIA'S PREPARED ONE FOR US, IF YOU DON'T MIND. 
          YES, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU. 
          SORRY TO HAVE MISSED THE LAST MEETING, UM, BUT EXCITED TO BE BACK. 
          UM, THIS ISN'T A REALLY STRUCTURED, YOU KNOW, IT'S MAINLY GOING FROM THE MANAGER'S REPORT. 
          SO WHEN I'M TALKING, I GUESS WHAT I'LL ASK AFTER IS WHAT MORE DO YOU, ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? UM, BECAUSE I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE SOMETHING, UH, MORE DETAILED. 
          IT'S JUST A MATTER OF KNOWING, YOU KNOW, WHAT ASPECTS YOU WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT. 
          UM, I THINK CARLY DID A GREAT JOB IN THE PACKET. 
          THERE'S A WONDERFUL, YOU KNOW, ATTACHMENT LUEGO COMPLETED RIDES. 
          IT GIVES YOU A GREAT SNAPSHOT OF WHAT LUEGO IS CURRENTLY DOING. 
          SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS ARE, WE'VE HAD OUR HIGHEST RIDERSHIP DAY, UM, WITH, WITH 120 RIDES COMPLETED IN A SINGLE DAY ON DECEMBER 20TH. 
          SO THAT'S A HUGE SUCCESS. 
          UM, I, I ALMOST WANNA SAY WE'RE TOO SUCCESSFUL RIGHT NOW. 
          SO I WILL SAY LIKE, ALL OF THESE NUMBERS ARE GOOD. 
          LIKE, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW IN TERMS OF WE'RE AVERAGING FOUR POINT, WHAT, NINE STARS OUT OF FIVE FOR ALL OF OUR WRITERS. 
          UM, WE HAVE 3000 PEOPLE WHO'VE CREATED ACCOUNTS EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE NOT EVEN IN THE SERVICE AREA 'CAUSE THEY'RE SO EXCITED ABOUT IT. 
          UM, OVER 200 REQUESTS FOR CERVIX EXPANSION. 
          UH, WE ARE HITTING A UTILIZATION OF 3.9 RIDERS PER HOUR. 
          AND I'LL KIND OF COME BACK TO THAT IN, IN A, IN CONTEXT FOR YOU. 
          UM, COMPLETED OVER 5,000 RIDES. 
          WE'RE MEETING 85.5% OF THE RIDE REQUEST FULFILLMENT OR RIDE REQUESTS. 
          SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS WHEN YOU REQUEST 85% OF THE TIME, WE'RE ABLE TO SAY, HERE'S YOUR RIDE 15% OF THE TIME YOU GET THAT, WHICH I'VE TALKED TO YOU GUYS ABOUT THAT NO RIDE AVAILABLE, RIGHT? AND SO OVERALL IT'S GREAT. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT, WHAT OUR FIRST THING WAS, GET IT OUT ON THE STREET AND NOW SEE IF PEOPLE USE IT. 
          YAY. 
          WE DETERMINED OUR FIRST THING. 
          PEOPLE USE IT NOW MAYBE TOO MUCH, RIGHT? SO IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THEY'RE USING TOO MUCH, BUT WE WANNA MAKE SURE THEY'RE USING THE RIGHT SERVICE FOR THE RIGHT NEED. 
          AND SO THIS IS WHERE IT GETS TRICKY. 
          AND I THINK WHAT I HAD SAID EARLIER WHEN WE WERE BEGINNING THE INCEPTION OF ALL THIS IS WE NEEDED DATA. 
          WE DIDN'T KNOW IF PEOPLE WOULD WANT IT. 
          WE DIDN'T KNOW WHY THEY'D USE IT. 
          NOW THAT WE HAVE SOME OF THAT DATA, REMEMBER WHEN WE KNOW THEY'RE USING IT, NOW WE NEED TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE. 
          SO I'M KIND OF JUMPING AROUND, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I, WE NEED TO KNOW IS WHY PEOPLE ARE USING THE SERVICE. 
          WHAT ARE THEY USING IT FOR? WHAT WOULD, WHY AREN'T THEY USING FIXED ROUTE? IS WHAT WE REALLY WANNA KNOW, RIGHT? THAT'S THE REAL GOAL. 
          LIKE WHY CHOOSE THIS? 
          [00:55:02]
MY ANECDOTAL ASSUMPTIONS, WHICH ARE NOT FOUNDED IN ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR WRITING, OCCASIONALLY TALKING TO SOME WRITERS ARE, THESE ARE FOLKS WHO TYPICALLY WEREN'T WRITING. 
          AND THEN WE HAVE A LOT OF PARATRANSIT FOLKS THOUGH THAT ARE WRITING IT. 
          SO IT'S A INTERESTING COMBO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE USING IT TO GO TO THE BAR AT NIGHT. 
          AWESOME. 
          YAY, THAT'S GREAT. 
          AND THEN WE HAVE FOLKS WHO MAYBE FOR PARATRANSIT, IT WASN'T WORKING FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO BOOK THREE TO SEVEN DAYS IN ADVANCE AND WHEN YOU WANT AN INSTANT TRIP. 
          BUT WHAT WE WANNA GET TO IS ACTUAL DATA, RIGHT? OF OF WHAT PEOPLE ARE NOT JUST MY ANECDOTAL. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA BE DOING A SURVEY TO LUMA GO CURRENT PASSENGERS THAT ARE RIDING TO FIND OUT ABOUT THEIR DEMOGRAPHICS AND THEIR USE CASE, THEIR PAIN POINTS WITH FIXED ROUTE. 
          AND THEN ALSO BECAUSE WE'VE GOT 3000 PEOPLE WHO'VE SET UP AN ACCOUNT, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVEN'T WRITTEN, WE HAVE 200 FOLKS WHO'VE SUBMITTED REQUESTS, THOUGH THEY HAVEN'T WRITTEN, AND WE WANNA DO A SEPARATE SURVEY FOR THEM. 
          WHY ARE THEY SO INTERESTED IN LUMA GO? AND AGAIN, NOT FIXED ROUTE SERVICE. 
          SO IT'S, IT'S NOT THAT THIS IS AT ALL A BAIT AND SWITCH. 
          WE STILL HAVE THAT, THAT PRODUCT OUT THERE, BUT WE DON'T WANNA KEEP PUTTING MORE PRODUCT OF THAT OUT ON THE STREET WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE OVERALL HOLISTIC NEEDS ARE OF THE COMMUNITY AND MAKING SURE WE'RE GIVING THEM THE RIGHT SERVICE. 
          SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I, AND I THINK ALL OF US THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN EXPRESSING CONCERN IS IF FOLKS ARE USING LUMA GO INSTEAD OF FIXED ROUTE. 
          SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THREE POINT WHATEVER PEOPLE PER HOUR, THAT'S GREAT, BUT THAT'S NOT GREAT FOR FIXED ROUTE. 
          FOR FIXED ROUTE. 
          WE'RE WE'RE AVERAGING 14 I THINK ON OUR HIGHEST ROUTE. 
          SORRY, IT'S ON THE SLIDE. 
          IT'S ON THE SLIDE. 
          UM, NO I THINK 14 PASSENGERS PER HOUR, YOU KNOW, 20 IS GREAT, BUT WE CAN'T GET THAT SAME, WE'LL NEVER GET THAT RIDERSHIP ON LUMA GO. 
          SO WE DON'T WANNA USE LUMA GO WHEN WE COULD BE USING FIXED ROUTE. 
          THAT'S WHAT I WANNA MAKE A REALLY CLEAR. 
          SO TO THE QUESTION ABOUT KIND OF WHAT HAPPENS NEXT DECISION WISE, WE STILL NEED MORE DATA. 
          SO THE GOAL IS A YEAR FROM THE LAUNCH WOULD BE OCTOBER, 2025. 
          WE'RE GONNA BE AT LEAST ANNOUNCING WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. 
          IS THIS A REGULAR PART OF OUR SERVICE? ARE WE EXPANDING THOSE ZONES? BUT BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, WE WANNA DO THE SAME THING FOR LUMA GO. 
          WE WANNA NOW APPLY THAT TO FIXED ROUTE. 
          RIGHT NOW PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT TRANSIT, THEY'RE INTERESTED, THEY'RE CURIOUS, THEY'RE ASKING QUESTIONS. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA USE THAT AND SAY, WELL HAVE YOU CONSIDERED FIXED ROUTE SERVICE? WHY ARE YOU NOT CONSIDERING FIXED ROUTE SERVICE? AND SEEING HOW MANY OF THOSE FOLKS WE CAN PULL OFF. 
          SO A FEW OF THOSE THINGS, THE RE WAY WE'RE GONNA GET THERE IS THE SURVEY NUMBER TWO IS WE'RE GONNA BE BE AN INTEGRATING FIXED ROUTE INTO THE LUMA GO APP. 
          SO IF I'M BOOKING A TRIP WITH LUMA GO AND I WANT THIS RIDE, BUT ROUTE TWO WILL TAKE ME THERE IF MAYBE EVEN FASTER, IT'S GONNA PRESENT ME WITH THAT OPTION AS WELL. 
          SO THAT'S KIND OF OUR STEP ONE OF KIND OF TESTING THE WATERS WITH FIXED ROUTE. 
          LET'S SEE IF FOLKS WILL, WILL BEGIN TO UTILIZE THAT SERVICE AND THEN MAKING FIXED ROUTE, I'M NOT GONNA SAY MORE DESIRABLE, BUT YOU KNOW, WITH THAT DATA, FINDING OUT WHAT IS IT THAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR? IS IT, IS IT ALWAYS ABOUT THE SHOPPING? IS IT ABOUT THE HOURS? WHAT IS IT? AND SO MAKING OUR, OUR BIG MAIN ROUTES MUCH MORE DESIRABLE. 
          SO THAT'S, I ALWAYS THINK ROUTE TWO AND 11 BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA BE ADDING FREQUENCY ON THAT REIMAGINING. 
          UM, OUR WEBSITE IS SOMETHING WE'RE WORKING ON REIMAGINING OUR SCHEDULE, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE'RE WORKING ON, MAYBE CHANGING THE LOOKS. 
          SO THIS ISN'T ALL IN THERE, BUT THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE WANNA BRING ATTENTION TO. 
          SO I PUT IN ANOTHER MARKER OF TIME IN YOUR PACKET, WHICH IS MAY SO BY, BECAUSE I'VE GOTTA WORK BACK, RIGHT? SO MAY WE HAVE A NEW SCHEDULE THAT WOULD HOPEFULLY WHEN I AM ABLE TALK ABOUT THE, THE INCREASED, UM, FREQUENCY ON ROUTE TWO AND 11. 
          BUT THOSE THINGS WILL BE IN THERE. 
          SO HOPEFULLY THE GRAND SCHEME IS MAKING SENSE. 
          WE, WE HAVE IT OUT THERE. 
          WE'RE NOT GONNA BE CHANGING LUMA GO RIGHT NOW. 
          WE'RE GONNA BE UNDERSTANDING TRAVEL PATTERNS AND HOW CAN WE INCREASE FIXED ROUTE RIDERSHIP. 
          AND THEN WE'LL SEE AT THAT POINT, OKAY, NOW WE UNDERSTAND THE PAIN POINTS, BUT ARE THESE PAIN POINTS MET BY LUGO OR IS PUTTING MORE LUGO OUT THERE? NOT GONNA BE OF USE. 
          SO TO KIND OF ANSWER THOSE NEXT STEP QUESTIONS, I WOULD SAY WE REALLY NEED TO SURVEY FOLKS BEFORE WE CAN START MAKING ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT HOW WE'RE GONNA EXPAND THAT SERVICE THOUGH CARLY IS OUR, OUR PLANNER AND SHE IS GONNA BE LOOKING AT USING, UM, REMIX TO KIND OF DO SOME ANA ANALYSIS OF, SO SHE'S ALREADY BEEN LOOKING AT, SORRY I'M SPEAKING FOR YOU, BUT LOOKING AT DIFFERENT ZONES AND HOW WE POTENTIALLY WILL EXPAND. 
          LET ME MAKE SURE I HAVE ALL THAT ON LUMA GO. 
          AND I'M, I'M HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS ABOUT LUGO. 
          I'VE KIND OF OUTLINED AS MUCH A LITTLE BIT IN THE, THE PACKET LETTING YOU KNOW, UM, EX EXPANDING TO VEHICLE PEAK OPERATION. 
          UM, THE OTHER THING, LET'S SEE, REFINING THE APP IN THE SERVICE ZONE, WE WILL BE EX DOING SOME SLIGHT TWEAKS TO THE CURRENT ZONE, BUT THEY'RE SO SLIGHT WE'RE NOT EVEN GONNA REALLY PUBLISH IT. 
          JUST MORE LIKE OPERATIONALLY LIKE, OH WE SHOULD HAVE CROSSED THE STREET OR OH, IF WE JUST DID THIS. 
          BUT THEY'RE SUPER SMALL CHANGES SO NO MAJOR CHANGES. 
          UM, YOU WILL BE THE FIRST TO KNOW, RIGHT? AS WE KIND OF GET A SENSE OF WHAT WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE SERVICE ON HAPPY NEWS TOO. 
          UM, UH, PETALUMA TRANSIT WAS INVITED TO SPEAK AT THE BARRIER TRANSIT SUMMIT ON JANUARY 30TH. 
          [01:00:01]
THAT'S IN YOUR PACKET AS WELL. 
          IT'S A FREE EVENT. 
          I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CO UM, WE'LL BE, I'LL BE ON A PANEL CALLED BUILDING EQUITABLE AND COST EFFECTIVE MOBILITY THROUGH SER SMART SERVICE DESIGN. 
          UM, BUT IT'S A NEAT LINEUP SO YOU CAN KIND OF HEAR HOW OTHER CITIES, UM, OTHER TRANSIT AGENCIES HAVE USED MICROT TRANSIT IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAY. 
          SO, UM, I WILL END WITH ALUMA, GO AND MOVE TO ELECTRIC. 
          ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THAT? THANK YOU. 
          THAT WAS A GREAT UPDATE. 
          JUST ONE OTHER THING I WOULD ADD IS THE SURVEY THAT MARIA REFERENCED THAT WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW FOR LUMA GO, THAT'LL BE REALLY HELPFUL TO ANSWER A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS WE HAVE ABOUT WHO IS RIDING IT, YOU KNOW, IS IT NEW RIDERS, IS IT EXISTING RIDERS, WHAT AGE ARE THEY? WHAT DEMOGRAPHICS? AND SO THAT'LL BE OUR FIRST REAL SNAPSHOT OF WHAT IS A TYPICAL LUMA GO RIDER AND WHO'S OUT THERE RIDING THE BUS BECAUSE THAT'S A QUESTION THAT WE GET FAIRLY REGULARLY. 
          SO CAN I ASK A QUESTION? CAN I ASK A QUESTION WE ALL HAVE QUESTION? YES. 
          SO MAYBE I SHOULD KNOW THIS 'CAUSE I'M ON THIS COMMITTEE, BUT THERE'S AN APP FOR THE FIXED ROUTE BUS SERVICE. 
          SO IT MAY BE A QUESTION TO ASK IS WHETHER THE LUMA GO WRITERS KNOW ABOUT THIS APP? UH, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. 
          UM, BECAUSE THEY'RE GETTING USED TO USING THE LUMA GO APP. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THEY MAY BE ABLE TO, WHEN YOU SAY, OH, WE HAVE THIS OTHER APP SO YOU CAN SEE IF A BUS, YOU KNOW, IF A FIXED ROUTE BUS IS GOING TO TAKE, GET YOU TO WHERE YOU WANNA BE FASTER AND PEOPLE CAN MAKE THAT DECISION, UM, IN THAT WAY. 
          UH, I JUST ALWAYS GO BACK TO RIDING A BUS IN SAN FRANCISCO WHERE I CAN LOOK TO SEE, YOU KNOW, HOW SOON THE BUSES ARE COMING. 
          IT'S VERY, VERY USEFUL. 
          UM, AND SO MAYBE PEOPLE, IT'S A, MAYBE AN EDUCATION PROCESS IN SORT OF SWITCHING BETWEEN APPS, UM, TO SEE WHAT WOULD BEST FIT THEIR NEEDS. 
          IT'S A, I JUST WANNA SAY THAT'S A GREAT RECOMMENDATION. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA OFFER SOMETHING ELSE, BUT I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL. 
          UM, WE DID LAUNCH THE TRANSIT APP TO LET PEOPLE KNOW, BUT I THINK TO YOUR POINT, AGAIN, NOT AS MUCH MANY EYES WERE ON TRANSIT. 
          AND WHAT'S REALLY GREAT ABOUT LUMA GO IS, AS YOU'VE EXPERIENCED, 'CAUSE I'M SURE YOU'VE ALL DOWNLOADED THE APP, I CAN SEND OUT A PUSH NOTIFICATION SO WE CAN, AND WHAT, IT'S INTERESTING, BUT WHEN YOU GET A PUSH NOTIFICATION, IF THERE'S A LINK IN IT, IT'LL JUST TAKE YOU RIGHT THERE. 
          IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A BIG DIFFERENCE, BUT IT'S HUGE COMPARED TO HOW I WOULD USUALLY HAVE TO ASK FOR A SURVEY, WHICH WOULD BE A CAR CARD, HEY, OR DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, SCAN THIS BARCODE, GO OVER HERE. 
          YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IT BECOMES TOO MANY STEPS. 
          SO I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR THAT SUGGESTION. 
          MM-HMM . 
          MM-HMM . 
          . 
          YEAH. 
          I JUST WANNA COMMEND YOU FOR, UM, DOING THE DEEP DIVE INTO DATA, UM, BECAUSE, UM, GETTING A FIX ON BEHAVIOR IS REALLY HARD. 
          YOU KNOW, WE TEND TO WORK WITH SYSTEMS AND, BUT, BUT REALLY GETTING INTO PEOPLE'S BEHAVIOR IS, IS NOT EASY. 
          AND I GUESS, UM, I AM INTERESTED IN EXPANSION. 
          UM, AND SO, UM, DID I HEAR RIGHT, YOU SAID 200, YOU'VE HAD 200 INQUIRIES ABOUT EXPANSION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? YEAH, SO CORRECT, BECAUSE I, BECAUSE THOSE ARE, I THINK IF YOU CAN SOMEHOW, UM, GET ALSO INTO DATA FROM PEOPLE WHO WANT IT AND, AND DON'T HAVE IT, OTHERWISE YOU'VE GOT A, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT A PARTICULAR SAMPLE THAT YOU'RE WORKING WITH, BUT, UM, IT'S JUST SO IMPORTANT. 
          I'M REALLY, I REALLY, REALLY COMMEND YOU FOR DOING THAT. 
          IT'S NOT EASY TO GET THAT, TO GET THAT DATA. 
          AND I WOULD COMMEND CARLY AND OUR INTERN JACK, THEY PROVIDE A DAILY, LIKE, SNAPSHOT WITH THE DATA, UM, THAT REALLY INFORMS HOW WE ALL MOVE FORWARD WITH IT. 
          SO, YEAH. 
          YEAH, I MEAN, JUST LOOKING AT THE COVERAGE, I WOULD SUSPECT THAT, THAT THE DATA YOU'RE GETTING IS FROM A PARTIC PARTICULAR ZONE OR ZONES AND, UM, THAT, THAT DATA FROM PEOPLE WHO AREN'T, DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO IT RIGHT NOW, MIGHT LOOK DIFFERENT. 
          UH, THERE'S NO WAY OF KNOWING, OF COURSE, BUT IT'S, IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS ABOUT, UH, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE, YOU'RE LAUNCHING SOMETHING AND THEN YOU, YOU GET THE DATA WHERE YOU CAN GET IT, BUT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. 
          I, I JUST, I REALLY COMMEND THE, THE DEEP DIVE INTO THAT, INTO THAT DATA, THE BEHAVIORAL DATA. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEAH, I HAD A QUESTION TOO. 
          MAYBE IT'S, IT'S TOO SOON TO TO HEAR IT ALL BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE GETTING TO A POSITION WHERE WE'RE GONNA DELVE INTO THIS DATA ONCE IT'S ALL PRESENT, BUT, UM, I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW IF, UH, IF THERE'S INFORMATION OUT THERE THAT SHOWS WHERE PEOPLE ARE GETTING DROPPED OFF OR WHERE THEY'RE DECIDING TO GET DROPPED OFF, AND IF THAT'S ALREADY COINCIDING ON WHERE MAIN LINES WOULD CROSS, AND IF THAT'S THEN LEADS INTO, YOU KNOW, MAYBE TAKING THE, THE FIX ROUTES AS 
          [01:05:01]
THE ALTERNATIVE INSTEAD FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. 
          YEAH, AND, AND IT'S REALLY INTERESTING BECAUSE WE GET, OR, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE, THE PICKUP, THE DROP OFF THE DATA IS PRETTY REMARKABLE. 
          BUT WHAT'S INTERESTING IS, UNLIKE WHERE I'VE SEEN MICROT TRENDS USE CASES IN THE, IN OTHER, UM, ENVIRONMENTS, IT'S NOT AS CONSISTENT, I WOULD SAY HERE, WHERE TYPICALLY YOU CAN SEE LIKE, OH, AT NINE O'CLOCK THERE'S A PEAK TRANSIT, EVERYBODY'S GOING TO THE SMART STATION, OR EVERYBODY'S GOING HERE. 
          AND WE HAVEN'T QUITE SEEN ENOUGH OF THAT. 
          ALTHOUGH I THINK WITH LUMA ICE, WE DID RECOGNIZE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO THE FAIRGROUNDS A LOT. 
          SO WE MAKE AN ASSUMPTION BASED ON THAT, THAT, UM, TRAVEL PERIODS, AND AGAIN, THE, THE BARS ARE KIND OF CLEAR, EASIER TO IDENTIFY BECAUSE WHAT, THERE'S NOT AS MUCH OPEN IN THE EVENING OR FROM DRIVERS REPORTING BACK FUNNY STORIES. 
          SO , IT'S A GOOD, IT'S A GOOD THING, BUT YES. 
          SO WE'LL GET, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE YOU MORE DATA. 
          UM, THE OTHER THING I WOULD SAY IS THE QUESTIONS YOU'RE ASKING, HELP US ALONG THE WAY. 
          SO I, I DON'T WANT IT TO BE, OH, WE WAIT TILL I HAVE THE SURVEY OR WE WAIT. 
          I WANT TO HEAR THE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS, SO THEN WE CAN REALLY INTERTWINE THAT GROWTH. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR THESE JUST, UM, THANKING YOU TO COME BEFORE US AGAIN. 
          I'M, I'M, I, I HAVE TO ADMIT THE SOUND IN THIS ROOM IS PATHETIC AND UNTIL WE GET RID OF THESE, IT'S GONNA REMAIN THE SAME. 
          I CAN'T, I DIDN'T HEAR A WORD YOU SAID. 
          I SAID I HEARD WORDS BUT NOTHING DIRECTED. 
          SO I MAY BE ASKING THE SAME QUESTIONS. 
          , FIRST QUESTION I HAVE IS, UM, THE DATE OF THE FORM, THE QUESTION ANSWER, WHAT DATE WAS THAT AGAIN? THE SOMETHING COMING UP? SO WE'RE, WE ARE PLANNING ON DOING A SURVEY, I WOULD SAY PROJECTED LATE FEBRUARY, EARLY MARCH. 
          OKAY. 
          FOR THE SURVEY, IF THAT WAS THE QUESTION. 
          I THINK IT WAS ABOUT THE FORUM DATES. 
          YEAH, WELL, WHEN YOU'LL BE IN SAN FRANCISCO PRESENTING AT THAT PRESENTATION. 
          OH, THANK YOU. 
          . 
          THAT'S JANUARY 30TH. 
          SO IT'S NEXT THURSDAY. 
          OH. 
          AND, AND IT'S AT THE FERRY BUILDING. 
          FERRY BUILDING. 
          AND IT IS FREE TO ATTEND, I BELIEVE THERE'S LUNCH PROVIDED, LOOK AT, I'M TRYING TO COME ON, COME VISIT. 
          AND, UM, A HAPPY HOUR WHERE FOLKS CAN ASK THE MODERATORS QUESTIONS. 
          AND AT THREE 15 IS WHEN IT ENDS. 
          SO, BUT FOR, FOR US IT'S EARLY MARCH FOR THE SOMETHING IN TOWN SURVEY FOR SERVING LUMA GO PASSENGERS. 
          YES. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          UM, DO I KNOW IT'S, I PROBABLY WOULD, IT'S WRITTEN HERE MANY TIMES. 
          ARE THERE ANY TRIPS TO THE EAST PART OF TOWN YET? DO YOU HAVE, IS IT TO THE BUS LOCATION OVER THERE, THE SAFEWAY AREA? DO YOU I MEAN, I, I DON'T KNOW THE ROUTES. 
          I IS, UH, SORRY FOR LUMA GO, IF IT GOES IT DOES, IT DOES GO TO THE SAFEWAY. 
          THERE'S THE, IS THAT QUESTION THE SERVICE AREA? OH, OKAY. 
          YEAH, IT GOES, BUT IT, IT MAINLY STAYS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. 
          I WOULD, I THINK ABOUT IT LIKE SMART AS THE CENTRAL LOCATION. 
          IT KIND OF GOES OUT FROM THERE, BUT IT ONLY CROSSES RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          OVER 1 0 1 INTO, SO MAINLY THE SAFEWAY AND THEN THE FAMILY, UM, RESOURCE CENTER SCHOOL, UM, FAMILY MCDOWELL CENTER, THE FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER. 
          YOU MEAN THE HEALTH CLINIC? NO, IT'S LIKE THE FAMILY, SORRY, MCDOWELL FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER, I THINK IS WHAT THEY'RE CALLED. 
          THEY'RE ON THE CORNER OF MCDOWELL. 
          SO IT DOES EXTEND. 
          I JUST, IT'S NOT JUST SAFEWAY, IT'S A LITTLE BIT AROUND THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          NOTHING TO THE HEALTH CENTER YET? NOT YET. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          UM, AND I KNOW THESE ARE ALL THINGS YOU'RE WORKING ON AND HAVING MORE QUESTIONS, AND IT WILL BE SOMETIME, HOPEFULLY IN OCTOBER OR THAT YOU MIGHT, THERE MAY BE CHANGES MADE OR THAT'S ALL UP IN THE AIR. 
          SO WHAT I, I, YOU KNOW, WE, AND I'M OPEN TO HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS WANNA HEAR THE INFORMATION. 
          I ALWAYS LIKE TO GIVE AN UPDATE EACH TIME WE MEET. 
          I'M ALWAYS HAPPY TO DO A DEEPER DIVE, BUT WHAT MY INTENTION WILL ALWAYS BE TO TELL YOU WHERE WE ARE IN THE, IN THIS PROCESS. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I ASSUME YOU'VE ALREADY GOTTEN RESPONSES TO SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS ALREADY? MANY TIMES. 
          PROBABLY THE HEALTH, THE HEALTH CENTER ON, UH, MCDOWELL WOULD BE ONE OF THEM FOR SURE. 
          WE'VE DEFINITELY GOTTEN A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF WHERE THEY WANT IT TO GO. 
          OKAY. 
          IT'S JUST A MATTER NOW OF UNDERSTANDING WHY, WHY DO THEY WANT LUGO SPECIFIC? OKAY. 
          UM, LET'S SEE. 
          I'M, I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT. 
          I AM, I AM, I'VE STUDIED IT A BIT. 
          I GOT MISTAKENLY PUT ON A PICKUP FOR ONE DAY AND I THOUGHT, HOW DID THEY, I DIDN'T PUT THAT DOWN. 
          SO RIGHT NOW YOU ORDER A REQUEST, YOU DON'T ORDER ANYBODY BUT A REQUEST TO STOP. 
          I KNOW I'M IN A, IN AN AREA WHICH IS CLOSE TO, UM, THE BUSES AND THE LUGO. 
          UM, SO YOU GET PICKED UP. 
          HOW IS IT ABOUT A HALF HOUR USUALLY MINIMAL OR MAXIMUM? OR IS THERE ANY SET TIME? I KNOW THERE CAN'T BE SET TIME. 
          IT DEPENDS ON HOW MANY RIDERS YOU'RE HAVE REQUESTED. 
          UM, OUR AVERAGE WAIT TIME IS ABOUT 15 MINUTES RIGHT NOW. 
          15. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT'S OUR AVERAGE WAIT TIME. 
          OKAY. 
          SO YOU GET PICKED 
          [01:10:01]
UP AND YOU WANT TO GO TO TARGET THOUGH, AND THAT YOU PUT THAT DOWN. 
          NOW TO GET TO TARGET, THERE MAY BE NUMEROUS PEOPLE WANTING, WELL, THREE OR FOUR, I KNOW THE PICKUP IS NOT TOO GREAT YET, BUT IN SOMETIMES IT IS GOOD, YOU'RE GOING TO PICK UP OTHER PEOPLE ON YOUR WAY TO TARGET MM-HMM . 
          AND THAT'S, UM, THEY HAVE TO BE NEAR THE ROUTES, I ASSUME. 
          UM, IT'S NOT GONNA BE A DIRECT SHOT. 
          UH, SO THAT'S INCLUDED THEN IF YOU, THEN IF YOU DECIDE, WELL I DON'T, I DIDN'T FIND IT HERE, THEN YOU ASK FOR A PICKUP AND THEN THEY COULD TAKE YOU BACK HOME OR IN THAT AREA. 
          SO THAT'S ANOTHER 15 MINUTES. 
          OKAY. 
          SO ALL OF THIS IS JUST ON THIS C CELL, CELL PHONE OR COMPUTER. 
          I KNOW YOU PUSH THE BUTTON OR RIGHT. 
          IN THE DESTINATION. 
          CORRECT. 
          AND, UH, PICK, PICK UP AND THEN THEY KNOW WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GO AND THE YOU, THERE'S A ON THE CELL PHONE OR ON THE MAP THAT YOU COULD, YOU CAN FOLLOW THE BUS WHERE IT IS. 
          ALL THESE THINGS ARE WAY BEYOND MY, YOU HAVE IT, YOU EXPLAINED IT PERFECTLY THOUGH, . 
          SO FOR SOMEBODY WHO HASN'T USED IT, IT, IT VERY MUCH IS THAT, SO I THINK THAT IS GOOD. 
          I THINK I, I MEAN FOR ME THAT'S FANTASTIC. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR, YOUR, UH, HELP . 
          JUST, JUST AS A POINT OF CLARIFICATION, IT, IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE MAP THAT THE SERVICE AREA DOES COVER, UH, LUCCHESE PARK, UH, IT LOOKS LIKE IT BUMPS ALL THE WAY UP TO PROFESSIONAL DRIVE, UM, UH, ON THE MAP. 
          OH, IT DOES. 
          YEAH. 
          SO YOU CAN, SO IF YOU, IF YOU DOWNLOAD THE LUMA GO APP, IT'LL SHOW YOU THE SERVICE AREA. 
          AND SO IT DOES COVER, I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT BLACK, THE BLACK AREA AND THE WHITE AREA AND GRAY AREAS, BUT OKAY. 
          WE, BUT YEAH, ON THE EAST SIDE, SOME OF THE, UH, MAJOR DESTINATIONS, WE COVER THE EAST SIDE TRANSIT CENTER IN THE SAFEWAY NEXT TO IT, WE GO TO THE PETALUMA HOSPITAL ON, UH, NORTH MCDOWELL, NOT YET PETALUMA HEALTH CENTER, THAT'S OUTSIDE THE ZONE. 
          AND THEN THE FURTHEST BOUNDARIES, THE PROFESSIONAL DRIVE MEDICAL OFFICES NEXT TO THE PETALUMA HOSPITAL. 
          SO WE COVER THAT KIND OF GENERAL VICINITY. 
          OKAY. 
          AND, AND ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS WITH THE SERVICE WE CAN DO IS YOU GET DATA ON EVERY TRIP PAIR. 
          SO WE CAN RUN A REPORT AND BRING THAT TO THE NEXT MEETING THAT SHOWS PEOPLE THE TOP DESTINATIONS, THE TOP TRIP PAIRS, WHERE YOU CAN REALLY SEE WHERE PEOPLE ARE RIDING TO AND FROM, WHICH I THINK WOULD BE HELPFUL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND CARLY'S GONNA BRING UP THE SERVICE AREA SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO HEAR MY VERSION OF NAVIGATING YOU THERE. 
          LET'S SEE. 
          UH, SO THERE'S THE SERVICE AREA ON YOUR MAP. 
          OKAY. 
          THIS ON YOUR SCREEN. 
          ON YOUR SCREEN. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          THERE. 
          IT'S VERY GOOD. 
          I'LL, I'LL GET THAT MAP OUT AND UH, TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT BIGGER AND LITTLER . 
          SO I'D BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING, UM, DROP OFFS AT THE, THE HEALTH CENTER AND AT, AT THE MCDOWELL RESOURCE CENTER AND SOME OF THE OTHERS. 
          WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM? YEAH. 
          AND AGAIN, TO THAT POINT, I FEEL LIKE WE DON'T HAVE, I MEAN, WE HAVE SOME GOOD DATA. 
          IT'S REALLY EARLY TO PULL MM-HMM . 
          YOU KNOW, BUT WE CAN DO OUR TOP SPOTS. 
          I JUST WOULD BE CAUTIOUS IN SAYING LIKE, OH, THAT, THOSE ARE OUR MAJOR SPOTS OF WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING. 
          'CAUSE WE JUST STILL DON'T HAVE A SENSE OF IT YET. 
          UM, BUT MOST DEFINITELY WE CAN GIVE YOU SOME. 
          YEAH. 
          AND MY QUESTION OF COURSE IS, UM, THERE'S THE, THERE'S A, THERE'S, UM, YOU KNOW, HUGE, UH, RESIDENTIAL AREAS ON THE EAST SIDE THAT AREN'T YET COVERED. 
          AND, AND SO I JUST WOULD BE INTERESTED IN, IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHERE, UM, THAT USAGE IS COMING FROM. 
          MOST DEFINITELY. 
          MM-HMM . 
          LAST BUT NOT LEAST, UM, THANK YOU AGAIN. 
          OF COURSE. 
          WE ALL LOVE LUMA GO. 
          UM, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS WE LOVE OUR FIXED ROUTE . 
          HOWEVER, I CAN TELL YOU ON, I I WAS DID YOU SAY YOU'RE GONNA PUSH THE SURVEY ON THE APP? SO WE'RE, GREAT QUESTION. 
          SO FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE USING THE APP, THEY'LL GET ONE SURVEY, RIGHT? BECAUSE THEY'RE USERS. 
          AND I, WHAT'S REALLY NEAT AND CREEPY ABOUT THE APP IS I CAN ACTUALLY PUSH IT. 
          SO LET'S SAY YOU DOWNLOADED IT. 
          IF I NEVER TOOK A RIDE, YOU'RE GONNA GET ONE SURVEY AND I CAN KNOW WHO THAT IS. 
          IT'LL PUSH TO, YOU'VE TAKEN IT ONLY ONCE. 
          I CAN PUSH A SURVEY TO YOU, YOU'VE TAKEN IT FIVE TIMES. 
          I WANT DIFFERENT ANSWERS. 
          I WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT THE PERSON WHO'S TAKEN THIS FIVE TIMES. 
          SO WE WILL KIND OF BREAK IT UP. 
          AND THEN FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T USED THE SERVICE AT ALL, BUT WE HAVE THEIR CONTACT BECAUSE THEY SUBMITTED A REQUEST, WE'LL EMAIL THEM. 
          SO, UM, IT IS STILL LIMITED, RIGHT? I CAN'T MAKE EVERYBODY, BUT AT LEAST WE'RE GETTING A BIGGER AND BIGGER SWATH. 
          VERY INTERESTING. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND IN TERMS OF YOUR FOCUS, I UNDERSTAND, I, I SUPPORT THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT, BUT I WAS WONDERING, YOU KNOW, I, I WROTE IT IN THE EARLY DAYS AND DUTIFULLY SENT YOU ALL THOSE TEXTS WITH, WITH WHAT WERE MOSTLY NAVIGATION DEFECTS, UM, 
          [01:15:01]
BUGS. 
          AND I WAS WONDERING, IS THAT ON HOLD AS WELL OR HAS THAT BEEN ADDRESSED? 'CAUSE I HAD A, A RECENT COMMENT FROM SOMEONE WHO'S CONTINUALLY USING IT BECAUSE HE'S PROTRAN. 
          UM, AND HE SAID, YOU'VE GOTTA TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE NAVIGATION. 
          YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHERE MY DRIVER TOOK ME. 
          YOU KNOW? AND I SAID, OH, ARE WE GOING TO PICK SOMEONE UP? HE'S LIKE, NO, YOU KNOW, AND I HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. 
          I, I THOUGHT, HUH, WE MUST BE GOING TO PICK SOMEONE UP. 
          NO, IT WAS JUST SUCH AN INTERESTING ROUNDABOUT WAY TO GET TO A MAIN ROUTE. 
          YES. 
          SO IT, UM, THERE ARE DEFINITELY BUGS THAT WE HAVE FIXED. 
          AND WHEN I SAY BUGS, I WOULD SAY MORE ROUTING OR THE LOGIC OF THE SYSTEM. 
          AND THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW, WE'VE, WE'VE ADJUSTED, FOR EXAMPLE, WE WERE HAVING AN ISSUE WHERE PEOPLE WERE REQUESTING AT THE SMART STATION, IT WAS TAKING THEM TO A TACO BELL BECAUSE IT WAS THE FASTEST WAY TO GO. 
          SO THE ALGORITHM WAS LIKE, THIS IS THE FASTEST. 
          BUT OF COURSE PEOPLE EXPECT IT TO COME TO THEM. 
          UM, IN TERMS OF THE ROUTING, THAT IS SOMETHING WE'RE WORKING WITH VIA WHO IS THE SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE PROVIDER, I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE SOME UPDATES THAT ARE GONNA COME OUT. 
          I'M HOPEFUL THAT, 'CAUSE WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH THEM ABOUT STUFF. 
          BUT I WILL SAY, IF YOU HAVE INSTANCES WHERE YOU HAVE ISSUES, PLEASE LET US KNOW. 
          UM, BECAUSE IT IS HELPFUL. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAD SOMEBODY WITH AN ISSUE, UM, AND IT, IT'S, IT WAS AN ISSUE WHERE THEY WERE HAVING TO CROSS THE STREET TO GET TO THEIR STOP. 
          WELL, BECAUSE SHE WAS ABLE TO GIVE ME ALL THE DETAIL AND THEN I HAD HER PHONE NUMBER, I KNEW I, WE COULD DEEP DIVE WITH THE COMPANY VIA ON HER EXPERIENCE. 
          SO WHEN WE CAN GET THAT REAL GREAT DETAIL FROM SOMEBODY, IT REALLY DOES HELP US FINE TUNE. 
          SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE IF YOU'RE GETTING COMMENTS, SAY, HEY, ARE YOU WILLING TO TALK TO MARIA? AND WE'RE, WE'RE HAPPY TO REALLY DO A DEEP DIVE AND FIND OUT IF IT'S THE APP OR IS IT SOMETHING WE CAN CHANGE ON OUR END. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          'CAUSE I THINK EARLY ON YOU WERE LIKE, WE WE'RE HEARING THIS. 
          YES. 
          BUT SO YOU'RE READY FOR MORE REPORTS. 
          EXACTLY. 
          I'M READY FOR MORE. 
          THAT'S A PERFECT WAY TO PUT IT. 
          . 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU MARIA FOR THE GREAT UPDATE ON LUMA GO. 
          UM, MORE INFO ON THAT. 
          STAY TUNED AT FUTURE MEETINGS. 
          OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF EXCITEMENT IN THE COMMUNITY, WHICH IS GREAT. 
          UM, COUPLE ITEMS ON THE FLEET SIDE, AS WE MENTIONED, THOSE, UH, BUSES WITH AC TRANSIT ARE PARTNERS THERE ARE VERY GENEROUSLY HELPING TO PROVIDE US WITH FOUR BUSES, UH, TO BE DONATED TO US. 
          THAT'LL HELP TIDE US OVER UNTIL WE GET OUR NEW ELECTRIC BUSES UP AND RUNNING. 
          THAT GOES BEFORE THEIR BOARD FOR CONSIDERATION TOMORROW NIGHT. 
          SO HOPEFULLY THAT GOES WELL. 
          WE'LL HAVE THOSE BUSES IN OUR HANDS AND IN SERVICE AND A LITTLE OVER A MONTH OR SO WE ESTIMATE. 
          AND THEN ON OUR ELECTRIC BUSES, SPEAKING OF WHICH, THOSE STARTED PRODUCTION LAST WEEK, WHICH IS GREAT NEWS. 
          SO THEY'RE CURRENTLY BEING CONSTRUCTED BY NEW FLYER. 
          IT ACTUALLY STARTS AT THEIR PLANT IN WINNIPEG AND THEN FIN FINISHES AT THEIR ONE IN MINNESOTA. 
          AND SO THAT'LL TAKE APPROXIMATELY 20 WEEKS FOR THEM TO COMPLETE THOSE BUSES. 
          SO IN THE MEANTIME, WE'RE DOING OUR YARD IMPROVEMENTS AT TRANSIT, FINALIZING THE DESIGN FOR THAT AND HAVING THAT OUT TO BID IN ABOUT A MONTH OR SO, AND HOPEFULLY COMPLETING THAT WORK AROUND AUGUST. 
          SO ALL ROADS HOPEFULLY TIE TOGETHER AT ONE POINT. 
          UM, FOR ALL THAT, THOSE ITEMS. MARIA, DID YOU WANNA MENTION ANYTHING ON THE FIX ROUTE, BUS SIDE, UM, OR THE DESIGN? I WOULD SAY JUST ON THE ELECTRIFICATION, THIS IS WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE, OH, WE LIKE LUMA, GO WANT THAT SAME ENERGY FOR THE ELECTRIFICATION. 
          SO YOU'LL SEE THERE, THERE'S GONNA BE A WHOLE CAMPAIGN, KIND OF THE SAME SPOTLIGHT. 
          LOTS OF EXCITEMENT AROUND THAT. 
          SO. 
          AND THEN WAS THERE ANY ITEMS WORTH POINTING OUT WITH MARKETING COMMUNITY OUTREACH FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE GROUP HERE? UM, THE ONLY THING I GUESS I WOULD MENTION IS ON SOME OF THE UPCOMING PROGRAMS AND IMPROVEMENTS, YOU'LL SEE A LITTLE FLYER. 
          AND I THINK IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A POSSIBILITY IN YOUR PACKET, WHICH IS WE'RE LIKE COLLABORATING WITH THE SENIOR CENTER TO DO A THREE PART SERIES ON HOW TO BASICALLY USE PUBLIC TRANSIT. 
          UM, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING WE OFFER TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. 
          SO I WAS JUST ON THE PHONE BEFORE WE GOT HERE FOR MOBILE HOME, UM, RESIDENTS THAT SAID, CAN YOU COME HERE AND EXPLAIN THE SERVICE? RIGHT? AND SO THIS IS ALWAYS AN OPTION AND WE CAN COME OUT TO AREAS BECAUSE TO THE POINT OF WE DON'T WANT FOLKS USING LUGO IF IT'S SOMETHING ELSE. 
          WE DON'T WANT PARA PEOPLE WHO SHOULD BE ON PARATRANSIT TO USE LUGO. 
          I'M NOT SAYING THEY SHOULDN'T, BUT WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO YOUR DOCTOR APPOINTMENT, I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET A NO RIDE AVAILABLE. 
          AND SO REALLY UNDERSTANDING, HEY, WE, WE HAVE TO SHOW PEOPLE HOW TO USE PARATRANSIT AND THEN WHEN THEY CAN USE THESE. 
          SO, UM, WE'RE MAKING SOME ADJUSTMENTS THE SAME WAY WE ARE TO FIX ROUTE. 
          WE'RE DOING THE SAME THING WITH PARA WITH A NEW RIDER GUIDE. 
          WE'LL BE COMING OUT, WE'RE GONNA BE OFFERING A PASSENGER PORTAL, WHICH WILL ALLOW PARATRANSIT CLIENTS RATHER THAN CALLING IN, WAITING ON THE PHONE, THEY CAN GO ONLINE IF THEY WANT OR THEIR CAREGIVER CAN TO BOOK OR REVIEW THEIR TRIPS. 
          [01:20:01]
AGAIN, CUTTING DOWN HOPEFULLY ON CALL VOLUME SO THAT THEY CAN ANSWER LU AND GO CALLS. 
          SO IT'S, IT'S A, IT'S A BALANCE, BUT I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW SOME PARATRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE COMING ALONG AS WELL. 
          ALRIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          AND UM, JUST IN TERMS OF FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS, ONE THING WORTH NOTING IS, UM, WE ANTICIPATE OUR PARATRANSIT BUS PROCUREMENT COMING FORTH FAIRLY SOON. 
          THAT'LL BE EXCITING. 
          OUR FIRST ELECTRIC PARATRANSIT CUTAWAY VEHICLES. 
          SO SOMETHING TO STAY TUNED FOR. 
          AND WITH THAT MADAM CHAIR, THAT COMPLETES OUR MANAGER'S REPORT FOR TONIGHT. 
          I ACTUALLY HAVE A, A QUESTION FOR MARIA. 
          YOU SAID YOU PROVIDE SEMINARS OR SOMETHING ON HOW TO USE TRANSIT AND HOW DO, HOW DO YOU FIND OUT THAT THIS WOULD BE WELCOME? IT'S IT, BECAUSE I'M ALSO, UH, THE PRIMARY ONE WHO TAKES IN THE CUSTOMER COMMENTS. 
          THAT TENDS TO BE A GOOD WAY, RIGHT? SO, OH, SOMEBODY MIGHT CALL, SAY, YOU KNOW, I'M CALLING ON BEHALF THEY HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS. 
          OFTENTIMES IT'S KIND OF ORGANICALLY BORN OUT OF THAT OR COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS. 
          UM, SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, WE DO PUBLICIZE, IT DOES SAY IT IN OUR WRITER GUIDE THAT IT'S AVAILABLE. 
          WE CALL IT TRAVEL TRAINING TYPICALLY, BUT FOLKS DON'T ALWAYS KNOW WHAT THAT IS. 
          RIGHT. 
          LIKE TRAVEL TRAINING TO WHAT? SO THAT'S THE INDUSTRY TERM. 
          SO WE'VE KIND OF GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT. 
          INSTEAD WE'RE DOING KIND OF SEMINAR TALKS. 
          I DO LUNCH AND LEARNS WITH SOCIAL WORKERS OFTEN. 
          UM, SO IT'S JUST ANY COMMUNITY GROUP THAT WANTS TO HEAR, WE HAVE THAT AVAILABLE FOR THEM. 
          JUST IF YOU'LL FORGIVE ME. 
          NO, PLEASE. 
          JUST A BRAINSTORM. 
          YEAH. 
          IS THAT SOMETHING THAT PERHAPS YOU COULD PARTNER WITH, UM, DEB FOX AND SOME OF THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS THAT THEY'RE PLANNING WITH THE OUTREACH FOR TRANSIT THAT SOMEHOW YOU GO, YOU KNOW YEAH. 
          TRANSIT GOES ALONG. 
          YEAH. 
          AND, AND BEFORE DEB CAME IN, SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE HIGH SCHOOLERS. 
          I WAS LIKE, WHY WAS I, WHY ARE WE IN THE ROOM? I WOULD'VE LOVED TO BE IN THE ROOM. 
          SO YEAH, IT'S A MATTER OF REALLY GETTING IT OUT THERE. 
          HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE DO AND WE'RE CONSTANTLY TELLING OUR OTHER CITY STAFF, BUT I THINK IT'S TRICKY WHEN YOU GET INTO YOUR ZONE, RIGHT? THIS IS OH, SO IT'S JUST, I, WHAT I'VE DECIDED IS, OR NOT I'VE DECIDED, BUT I THINK WHAT'S BEEN WORKING WELL IS I'M JUST CONSISTENTLY HAVING THAT OUT THERE AND AVAILABLE SO THAT IT'S NOT WAITING FOR SOMEBODY. 
          GOT IT. 
          THAT'S KIND OF WHY WE DID A THREE PART SERIES. 
          SO WE KNOW FOR THOSE WHO MISSED IT IN JANUARY, DON'T WORRY, WE'RE DOING IT AGAIN IN FEBRUARY AND THEN AGAIN IN MARCH AND THEN IN, WE'RE PROBABLY DO A NEW ONE IN APRIL AND THEN WHEN PEOPLE ASK, WE CAN COME TO YOU. 
          SO IF YOU KNOW OF A GROUP THAT WANTS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT LUMA GO PARATRANSIT OR FIXED ROUTE, PEOPLE HAVE QUESTIONS, THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE APP, WE ARE ALWAYS HAPPY TO, TO COME ON SITE AND, AND DO A LITTLE GROUP MEETING OR TRAVEL TRAINING. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO IF THAT ENDS THE, UH, TRANSIT MANAGERS REPORT, I THINK WE HAVE REACHED THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE MEETING. 
          AND WITH THAT WE ARE ADJOURNED. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          AT 6 25, APPROXIMATELY. 
          OH OH OH OH, OKAY. 
          WELL THEN IN THIS CASE, I VOTE YES, I WANNA BE THE CHAIR.
