ACTION FINANCIAL ITEMS A. Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 SolanoExpress Intercity Funding Forecast Mary Pryor reported that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, SolanoExpress service levels, costs, and revenues for FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22 are projected to be substantially different than prior years. She also noted that given the uncertainties regarding revenues and ridership demand, the forecast does not include substantial changes to the current SolanoExpress service. She added that STA staff will provide regular updates to the STA Board and the Consortium on the SolanoExpress operations, ridership, costs, and revenues. As the service changes are implemented, minor adjustments to the proposed service plan may be required. She concluded by stating that substantial changes to the service plan will be developed in consultation with the transit operators, the Intercity Transit Finance Working Group (ITFWG) and Consortium. Recommendation: Forward a recommendation to the STA TAC and Board to approve the FY 2021-22 SolanoExpress Cost Sharing Forecast as specified in Attachment A. On a motion by Brandon Thomson and a second by Diane Feinstein, the SolanoExpress Intercity Transit Consortium approved the recommendation. (6 Ayes, 1 Absent – Vacaville City Coach) 7.

She added that the Title VI Program and its associated Complaint Policy, Language Assistance Plan, and Public Participation Plan must become a tenet under which STA operates in order to ensure federal 6 compliance.
