Topic Facilitator Discussion Actions Staff Statements GO Transit Bus Build Korbin Figg Korbin Figg showed pictures of our buses as they are being built in Anniston, Alabama. He said the pictures were taken by our mechanic who is there to oversee productions. Korbin told that our maintenance supervisor will travel there next week to conduct the final inspection. He also showed a short video on how a bus is built. There was discussion about a ribbon cutting ceremony and/or parking one of the new buses somewhere such as the Transit Center or Farmer’s Market for people to see. School Update Korbin Figg The school district is discussing a possible revenue agreement with the city where students can ride Go Transit free. Korbin Figg told that a school social worker said no one that needed assistance with transportation isn’t assisted. He said it comes down to who has the money to fund a program to provide free bus rides for all district students. Future Agenda Items Jane Cryan Jane Cryan said there are rumors that Walmart wants the bus out of their parking lot. She would like the Walmart bus stop put on the TAB meeting agenda. Korbin Figg said the Walmart corporate management consulted an engineer to determine a good location for a bus stop but the engineer couldn’t find a spot for the bus to stop. Korbin said he would contact Walmart again. Jane also mentioned the 2 seat bench at the current Walmart stop was not adequate.
