Sundry Service
. Fixed Route Transit Service
• Difficult to implement in this economic
environment
. After Hours Cab Program
• Attempted similar program in FY08 &FY09
Recommendations
. No major expansion of service at this time
- due to economic factors
• Continue to gather data from:
• AVL system & MTO's
• Public outreach
. Implement route modifications within
existing budget
