Council encourages members to join WeGo rides to identify transit gaps ahead of budget cycle
Summary
At the April 1 meeting the council urged members to participate in the annual WeGo ride program during Transportation Month to learn first-hand about gaps in service before the budget cycle.
Council members were urged at the April 1 meeting to participate in the annual WeGo ride program during Transportation Month to identify gaps in public transit service ahead of the city budget cycle.
Madam Pro Tem told members they will receive more information and graphics about the program and encouraged council members to ride on the Monday and Tuesday when committee and council meetings occur. The stated purpose is to surface service gaps constituents encounter so the council can factor those findings into budget discussions.
Vice Mayor Angie Henderson acknowledged the suggestion and said she looked forward to participating. The announcement noted that the program has drawn substantial council participation in previous years and encouraged members to invite constituents to ride with them.
No formal recommendation or direction to staff was recorded in the transcript; this item was an encouragement for councilmember engagement rather than a binding policy decision.
