District should find a way for interested passengers to contact each other regarding lobbying for transit funding
GM should be dismissed; Van Hool buses are dangerous and waste money
Think outside the box; look for other funding sources other than State
Extend transfers to two hours
Cost of Van Hool buses, versus domestic buses, could have reduced service cuts

Please consider ridership characteristics; who rides, not just how many people
Limit to service reductions should be to late night service levels.
Least harmful method of reducing service is to increase headways.

Public awareness about workshops should be posted in at least five languages (English, Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog and Vietnamese).
