Committee discusses pilot transit service to carry children to Araceli swim sessions
Summary
Committee members discussed financing transportation for children to get to swim sessions at a location referenced as Araceli and noted a possible pilot program and prior survey results; staff said they would follow up with slides and email information.
Committee members asked at the June 2 budget meeting how the county could finance transportation for children to get to swim sessions at a site referenced in the meeting as Araceli. A committee member asked, “How can we finance transportation for kids to get to Haricel to swim?”
A staff member said a pilot program was expected this year and noted the matter had been discussed at a prior meeting. The staff member said there had been a survey and some people requested transit service; the county was exploring using existing funding to run a pilot from Park Station and the transportation center, and staff agreed to circulate slides and email updates to the committee.
Why it matters: establishing a pilot transit route or service would affect how children get to organized swim sessions and could require coordination among transit staff, parks/recreation, and budgeting for service adjustments.
Follow-up: staff agreed to ask Courtney (a staff member who presents on transit topics) to email committee members the slides and to provide a status update at the legislature or committee meeting.
