It is hoped that CAT could bring that data back to the ACAT committee. Ms. Ritehart asked the response from the CAT Board to the idea of supervisors picking up those who missed their stop and getting them back to their destination. Mr. Dawson replied that it was suggested as a possible way to work the matter. Ms. Ritehart stated that when she has been taken past her stop, she has never been charged to ride back around. However, the idea of supervisor coming to take a person back to the stop is a better solution.
Time is valuable and it takes too long to ride back around to the stop.
Mr. Dawson replied that he would talk with Mr. Lansing to see what his understanding of that was. In addition technology was discussed that would take the issue of announcing the bus stops out of the drivers area of responsibilities. The Board asked that this be put into any bids that went out for prospective bus vendors, that GPS technology be available. Publicity will be forth coming. Those interested could also call Mr. Dawson at the Fair Housing Council.
