The El Paso Transportation Authority told county commissioners it is right‑sizing service to match funding, adding Sunday service in places, reconfiguring routes and recommending a phased transition of Route 50 to microtransit after data showed low productivity (about two passengers per hour vs. a five‑passenger target).

Sun Metro staff said they will apply for an FTA Low-No Emission grant to replace aging CNG compressors at the transit operations center; materials list $5,555,000 while the presenter said $5,500,000, with a local match cited as $1,388,750 (and elsewhere $1,300,000). The board authorized submission unanimously.
