Key discussions during this joint meeting included the review of the February 13, 2020 RAC meeting minutes, which will be approved at a later date. The General Managers Report covered staffing updates, mandatory face mask usage for riders, and financial performance through March 31st, noting a net surplus but significant revenue decline due to fare suspension.
