OCTA directors vote on the 2009-10 budget next Mon, Jan 8

Just learned about OCTA's plans for next year. Some of the more transit-specific action items include:

  • Work with affected stakeholders to maintain a state role in transit operations funding.
  • Implement two of three Bus Rapid Transit routes in June 2010, routes 543 and 560, to move toward compliance with regional air quality mandates.
  • Proceed with planning efforts for Renewed Measure M transit projects including Transit Extensions to Metrolink (Go Local), Community Based Transit/Circulators, and Expansion of Mobility Choices for Seniors and Persons with Disabilities.
  • Participate in the regional 511 system and target 10 percent of Customer information Center for diversion to the Integrated Voice Response system.

Will post more details/analysis later. The files for their budget are attached here.
