1. Senior Outreach.During the month of April we will have a promotion of free fares for
seniors. Seniors using a pass will be refunded$0.50.The contractor is splitting the cost of
the refunded fares with the Town. There will also be an afternoon tea at the Senior Center
to discuss LEXPRESS on April 13.
2. Patriot's Day We will be participating in the parade with the COA as in years past;
however,we will not be decorating the bus.Consider a banner held by two TAC
members walking in front of the LEXPRESS bus.N.Kolb will also propose that the
COA carry its own separate banner.
3. Discovery Day Saturday May 20(the weekend before Memorial Day).A booth has been
reserved for the TAC. This was suggested as a prime marketing tool for the override
(tentatively scheduled for May 22).N.Kolb to prepare a question and answer sheet of
frequently asked LEXPRESS questions.
4. The Transportation Services Office and LEXPRESS and Chair Car contracts will be on
the override this spring.TAC members discussed how they may approach this issue. Don
Graham and Elaine Dratch will contact TMMA members and Selectmen to see who is
organizing override effort.
5. Committee membership and charge.Lorraine Pacocha has moved from Lexington and
will be sending her resignation from the committee to Don Graham.The Lexington
Vision 2020 Transportation Committee's membership contains some potential new TAC
members.However,this Committee is much more interested in overall transportation in
Lexington,not just LEXPRESS and Chair Car. It may be appropriate for the TAC to
propose widening its charge to the Selectmen,to advise on transportation issues as stated
in the Vision 2020 Vision(see attached).
6. Meeting minutes were not approved since a quorum was not present.
