Capital Metro balanced its operating budget by tapping $2.6 million in federal stimulus funding for operating expenses; however, the Capital Metro Board also directed staff to begin the public process to increase fares sooner than Aug. 2010. Additionally, Cap Metro says no Metro Rail this year, and establishes a target to open the Red Line in the first quarter of calendar year 2010.
Cap Metro will be at our general meeting, in addition to our police liaison, so its a good meeting to attend. Wednesday, September 30, 7pm, Milwood Library.
