Pacts Transit Committee Meeting Minutes
The committee discussed barriers to electrifying the region's transit network and awaited the State's Electric Vehicle Roadmap. A regional transit data standards report was presented, recommending the adoption of the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data standard and the formation of a working group to implement it. Members also reviewed the impacts of Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) funds, noting that no PACTS region funding was included in the FTA's urban apportionments, and discussed the annual apportionment of FTA Fiscal Year 2021 funds and updates to the Six-Year Capital and Operating Plan. Additionally, participants provided brief updates on current ridership trends across various transit agencies.
