Minutes for Transportation Advisory Committee <br />March 12, 2008 <br />Present: TAC members: Sara Arnold, Elaine Dratch, Sally Castleman, Danny Moraff, Francine <br />Stieglitz, Gail Wagner. <br />Lexpress Storm Cancellation <br />➢ Case by case determination based on storm variables. No set policy. <br />Lexpress Stop Middlesex Turnpike opposite Burlington Mall <br />➢ Barnes & Nobles and Chili's managers contacted Lexpress office to request service. <br />Written statements from both managers will be secured for files. <br />➢ Parking lot area was evaluated by Gail and drivers and found adequate for bus. <br />➢ Pilot program will commence for several runs per day and upon rider request. <br />Lexpress Shuttle from Historical Society to Munroe Tavern for Elderhostel Programs <br />➢ Senior rate would apply and could be paid in advance for tickets marked with "S." <br />Arrangements through Lexington Historical Society. <br />Lexpress Advanced Start Times <br />➢ School bus rates for next year will remain the same. High demand for Lexpress annual <br />passes is projected based on inquiries to date. <br />➢ Advancing start time by 5, 10 to max of 15 minutes to be considered to guard against <br />need to adjust schedule as this year. <br />➢ Second routes of the day could be rescheduled to eliminate current gap after LHS runs. <br />➢ No dialogue seen between the Town and School in addressing cost disparity between the <br />unsubsidized school bus and subsidized Lexpress. Hank will be asked to address the issue <br />that generated significant public concern last September. <br />➢ Lexpress duplicating town service (school bus) for first runs into LHS was raised. <br />➢ Gail and Joanne Tringale, school bus coordinator, have discussed AM school bus pass <br />with the option of PM Lexpress pass. At this date, not realistic for next school year. <br />Lexpress General Pass Cost Increase <br />➢ Increasing annual General pass by $50 to be considered especially in light of escalating <br />fuel costs. Gail will confirm current pass counts and projected revenue. <br />Google Transit Website <br />➢ Problem with routes that travel the same street in both directions, as Marrett Road <br />identified by Bill, were discussed. <br />➢ User Instructions should include this problem. <br />➢ Town will be asked to post on server as a preliminary to public access. <br />MBTA Weekend Service Proposal <br />➢ Danny presented a Saturday /Sunday route combining MBTA routes 62,76 and 78 from <br />the Bedford VA to Harvard Square. <br />➢ CTPS rider models for the proposed route are expected soon. <br />➢ MBTA annual Town assessment should be confirmed if proposal enacted. <br />➢ TAC letter of support to the MBTA is pending additional information. <br />Warrant Articles <br />➢ Several Articles proposed by developers limit current TDM bylaw, especially Article 56. <br />➢ Planning Board meeting attended by Sara illuminated need to update TDM bylaws. <br />Farmer's Market Green Days <br />➢ Travel options, such as Lexpress free shuttle to and from Depot Square, will be <br />promoted.
