Andrea Riley, the city’s community engagement manager, presented a Transit Access Funding Plan to pair community input with ridership and operational data; staff will run a survey and three ward meetings this summer and analyze results this fall before winter decision-making.

Mobile GR staff proposed a trial of a consolidated, shorter Dash circulator route to increase frequency and reduce ride times after a 28% operating cost uptick; commissioners approved a Dash working group and asked staff for more engagement results and ridership projections.
