What we’ve heard so far…

20

  • There is broad consensus that we must plan for the future

together as a region.

Regional Partnership

  • There concern about the financial sustainability of Metro

following the Proposition 1 vote and service cut outcomes.

Greater Transparency and Accountability

  • Social equity and geographic value must be guiding principles

for the Long Range Public Transportation Plan

Social Equity and Geographic Value

  • Metro must adapt to new tools, expectation for real‐time

information and new technologies.

Innovation in service network

  • The long‐range plan is an opportunity to define Metro’s role

and refocus transportation options

Capital Investments and Service Delivery

  • The long range transit plan must address how Metro meet

funding requirements

Future funding and revenue

  • Service must be cost‐efficient, coordinated and maximize the

benefit provided with the means available.

Cost‐effectiveness
