Why This Vote Matters

The council unanimously approved expanding the city's shuttle service using a $300,000 grant from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. The money will allow TransMetro Inc., which operates the city's current shuttle routes, to either extend existing services or add new routes that connect residents to regional transit systems. The goal is to reduce car trips and improve air quality by giving people better public transportation options. This routine contract amendment allows the city to accept the grant funding and put it toward enhanced shuttle services.
