What this means
The committee discussed applying for regional transportation grant funds but did not advance the application at this meeting. Transit officials announced service cuts on some routes, limited hours on others, and a two-phase restart of fare collection (a test in April/May and full resumption in June). The street resurfacing briefing was delayed to the March 24 meeting. Residents who rely on transit should expect route and service changes and the reintroduction of fares this spring.
