Background and Analysis:
Passage of Proposition 1 on November 6, 2018 ensures that current Intercity Transit services can be maintained, and provides funding to implement new services over the next 8 years. Shortly after on November 7, the InterCity Transit Authority adopted the Intercity Transit Short and Long Range Plan to guide implementation and a schedule for planned service enhancements.
The purpose of this agenda item is to review the implementation plan and planned service enhancements, including some of the anticipated challenges. Staff will also provide an update on major capital projects (OTC Expansion) and provide updates on more recent service changes implemented in September 2018.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
Transit service and changes to services remain a high point of interest in the community and coordination of future service improvements and new services will require outreach and ongoing communication. Coordination between agencies continues to be a high priority in planning and implementing public transportation service.
