early draft of the Flexpass application. She will submit those to the school department. It was agreed that the school department should issue a single card for the Flexpass rather than two cards —one for the school bus and one for Lexpress. It was also agreed that the school department should increase its $5 replacement fee for a lost Flexpass, but the replacement fee shouldn't be more than $25. TAC would like to see a pass with a photo and a clear indicator of the Flexpass status. 4. Coordinator Position: reported that he talked to Monica Tibbets, 128 Business Council Director about finding a temporary personto fill the Transportation Coordinator position until a permanent person could be found. Monica thought it would be difficult to find someone willing to take the position. Larry suggested that the position be posted at temp agencies. TAC agreed that Carl should be made aware of the seriousness of the situation. S. Senior Center Housing Connection: approved running the pilot point -to -point (senior housing to senior center) program to the end of July, butridership reports and Nancy Adler indicate that there have been no riders lately. Nancy said that Charlotte Rodgers thinks that this service would be better utilized in the winter months. Charlotte has suggested halting the service at the end of July and resuming it in the winter. It was suggested that Charlotte come to the next TAC meeting to discuss the situation and review other senior center transportation outreach efforts. 6. 3 p.m. Buses to High School: Francine Stieglitz received a suggestion from a parent that the Lexpress buses would probably increase their ridership if they stopped at the high school at 3 p.m. to pick up students. Apparently some students find it difficult to make it to the Depot by 3 p.m., and they don't want to wait for the 4 p.m. bus. In response to a question about why the students can't make it to the Depot by 3 p.m., the parent talked to some other parents, and it seems that it's "because they are teenagers ", and they have difficulty getting organized and up to the Depot that quickly. Ridership statistics show that the 3 p.m. buses are already full, and the routes cannot handle more riders. Additionally, at that hour they do not have the time to go to the high school. It was concluded that Lexpress could not accommodate the request.
