Committee approves letter urging restoration of Route 12 or equivalent service between campuses
Summary
The committee approved (by motion) an amended letter from member Andrew asking the Regional Public Transit Advisory Committee to explore restoring Route 12 or an equivalent service connecting two campuses. The motion passed with a second; Derek (a CET manager) abstained from the vote to avoid a conflict of interest.
Andrew presented a draft letter to the Regional Public Transit Advisory Committee urging restoration of Route 12 or an equivalent transit service connecting the two campuses referenced in the draft. He kept the language intentionally general to allow the advisory committee flexibility to evaluate fixed-route, microtransit, or shuttle alternatives.
Committee members proposed three edits to the draft: add the phrase “or an equivalent service” to references to Route 12, simplify a long sentence about exploring and creating accessible transit options into shorter sentences, and add language that restoring Route 12 (or an equivalent) would demonstrate a meaningful commitment to connectivity.
Andrew moved to approve the letter with the amendments Derek outlined; Carl Burnett seconded the motion. Derek — who manages aspects of the transit advisory process — abstained to avoid a conflict of interest. The committee recorded the motion as passing and instructed staff to send the amended letter to Cassandra for distribution to the regional public transit advisory committee and to present the letter at that body’s next meeting.
