Commissioners discussed transit access and potential small investments to improve bus stops, and they asked for more information on an app‑based rideshare/car‑pooling platform called AgileMile.

LYNX amenities and shelters: County staff said full shelter installations cost more than $100,000 apiece, but smaller amenities — benches, trash receptacles and lighting — run closer to about $16,000 per stop depending on location. TransMAC members asked staff to work with LYNX to create an inventory of stops that lack basic amenities and return with a proposal of lower‑cost options and costs. Several commissioners suggested exploring sponsorship or an “adopt‑a‑stop” model with local businesses to stretch TransMAC funds and accelerate installation of benches and trash cans without funding full shelters.

AgileMile rideshare and pilot interest: Commission members asked for a dedicated presentation from AgileMile, a third‑party shared‑mobility vendor; Courtney Reynolds, AgileMile’s chief operating officer, attended the meeting. She said AgileMile typically contracts with public agencies, can accept indemnification requirements in contracts and that costs and outreach needs vary by scope. Commissioners requested a short presentation at a future meeting to clarify the subscription and outreach costs, vendor indemnification and the expected level of user engagement required to make a pilot viable.

School zone enforcement and cameras: The group also discussed the planned automated school‑zone speed camera pilot. County staff said the program will pilot cameras in two school zones per county district; in District 3, the schools selected were Three Points Elementary and Sally Ride Elementary. Staff said deployments generally include two cameras per school zone (one in each direction) and that Florida statute applies a threshold (noted during the meeting as vehicles exceeding the posted speed limit by at least 10 mph) before automated enforcement issues citations.

Next steps: TransMAC voted informally to ask county staff to return with cost estimates and a stop‑inventory for LYNX amenities, and commissioners asked staff to schedule an AgileMile presentation (members asked that the presentation describe outreach strategies and budget implications). The commission did not commit funds at the meeting; members emphasized partnerships and sponsorships to multiply limited TransMAC funds.

Ending: Staff will return with an inventory of LYNX stops lacking basic amenities, cost estimates for lower‑cost improvements, and a proposed time and agenda for an AgileMile/ride‑share briefing.
