Santa Cruz County Transit and Transportation Agency Meetings - Audio Tracks

About Santa Cruz County Transit and Transportation Agency Meetings - Audio Tracks

Attending these meetings in person is very time consuming. They are long and there is often quite a bit of administrative business done. Not many people have the time to do it. And, even if you do, it is not a very efficient use of time. But the meetings are important. They are the best way to keep track of what the agencies are up to. These podcasts make access to that content very simple and efficient. I edit the podcasts to break the meetings into short, topical episodes. You can listen to the episodes that cover topics that matter to you. The cool thing about doing that with a podcast is that you can listen whenever and wherever you can. The podcasts are made from community tv.org (http://communitytv.org) 's video feed of the meetings. Thanks go to them for providing those. You can see the full videos on their website. I've started adding some episodes that cover the supporting documents for the meetings. Those can be very useful. I am using text to audio conversions to convert them to an audio format. I'm not editing the content of the podcasts. It is extracted directly from the video of the meetings. I am editing out the agency's administrative business, and I am not including public comments. Both of those are available in the original video. There are some presentations that depend on a Power point presentation or slides. I make videos of those and post them on YouTube.

   2/27/26 SC Metro P4 - Fare Policy Update

   METRO’s General Counsel has drafted a revised Fare Structure and Policies (Attachment A) that would replace an existing Codified Tariff that was adopted by the Board of Directors on June 4, 2020. The proposed Fare Structure and Policies correspond to changes in the way METRO collects fares and is consistent with recommended discount fare benefit programs now available to METRO through the State’s California Integrated Travel Project (Cal-ITP). Staff recommends that the Board receive the Draft Fare Structure and Policies and open a public comment period prior to adopting the proposed changes. Staff will return at the March 27, 2026, Board meeting to request a resolution to adopt the new Fare Structure and Policies that is responsive to public input.
