Accept $313,036 grant and extend shuttle service contract

Why This Vote Matters

Richmond will receive $313,036 in grant money from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District to extend its pollution-reducing shuttle service. The council unanimously approved accepting the grant funds and extending the contract with TransMetro Inc., which currently operates the city's shuttles, with Councilmember Butt absent from the vote. This grant covers the cost of continuing shuttle operations beyond the current contract's end date, meaning residents can keep using the service without the city having to spend its own money. The approval allows the city to maintain public transportation that helps reduce air pollution in the community.
