II. Public Comment: Sandy Seekamp spoke on the disadvantages and the limitations of individuals in electric wheel-chairs that use the fixed routes. Some of the limitations included pass-bys because the fixed route bus already has 2 wheel-chairs on the bus, therefore this could cause extra cost and additional appointments to the doctor's office because of no show or late and a limitation on the amount of groceries an individual can buy at one time. Using MetroAccess would be a better solution to these issues. She also spoke of the need for a wheelchair user as a member of the CSAC Committee.

III. Advisory Committee Updates: 1. Update on the Access Advisory Committee (AAC). Celso Baez, Community Involvement Specialist noted that the Access Committee had adopted the 2014 Access Committee Work Plan.

Additionally, Board Chair Martinez requested a copy of the communication outreach to businesses that will be impacted by the new transit priority lanes.

2. Presentation-(ID # 2620) Operations Report Chad Ballentine, Manager, Bus and Paratransit Services presented the Operations Report. Chad reported that staff is researching the pass-bys to further classify pass-bys by the reason they occur. Board Member Stafford mentioned adjusting the index on contractors that have the old fleets. It is a disadvantage to compare the contractors when one has new fleet and one has old fleet. There should be some type of adjustment. Chad noted that staff is working on the index to make the ratings more balanced. Chairman Martinez pointed out that we adjust penalties each year to account for age -- we could do the same for performance monitoring. Board Member Langmore wants staff to continue to look at the complaints as we wind down the Veolia contract. Even though we are making changes to services we should not see doubling of complaints. We are here to improve overall performance. Please keep an eye on this.
