FARE INCREASE:
TAC discussed the need to increase fares to make up for the $30,000 budget cut voted by
the Board of Selectmen. We have recently seen a decrease in revenue, but an increase in
ridership indicating that we should look at raising pass costs. Barbara Lucas stated that she
will look at results of our last fare increase in order to project what the results of another
increase might be.
ARTICLE 14 PRESENTATION:
TAC discussed the presentation of Article 14 at Town Meeting and reviewed the handouts
for Town Meeting Members. Questions that might arise from the floor were anticipated
including questions about a refueling station for alternate fuel vehicles.
MBTA STOP.
TAC agreed that a META bus stop sign should be placed on Worthen Road just up from
the corner of Marrett Road near the high school. There is a bus stop sign on the opposite
side of the street, and the bus stops there customarily A bus stop sign would be helpful to
MBTA riders as it would formalize the bus stop.
