Advisory Committee for People with Disabilities (ACPD) Update:

• New Light Rail pilot program about bringing bicycles on the trains that will not impact wheelchair areas or the High Block. There currently is no start date.
• No Heroes Awards – the committee is looking to expand eligibility for the award.
• Meetings will possibly expand to bi-monthly to improve group impact.

Covid-19 Update

• Effective July 1 fares for all services will go back into effect.
• The booking horizon for AaR will return to 5 days,
• Free food delivery will continue – AaR has provided over 320 trips.

• Contractors are cleaning buses every evening.

Communications Update
