' 1 , J I October 12, 1993 MEMORANDUM TO: Community Development Committee FROM: Steve Stamey, Community Development Director /<fu, SUBJECT: Transportation Advisory Group - Recommendation The Transportation Advisory Group met again on September 15, 1993 and has made the following recommendations with regard to 1994 transportation service: 1. Not pursue acquisition of two buses with the Town of Avon. This is based on budget constraints, operating costs, and suitability with the community. 2. Look at options to purchase a phased out school bus to be used for employee transportation. 3. Survey the business/employer community to determine appropriate employee transportation schedules/rates. 4. Continue trolley system. Operate with more schedule consistency and distribute information on schedule changes. 5. Look at variations in ridership pass options (e.g. season, weekly). 6. Continue private participation in trolley through purchase of passes.
