This month, all Service Councils will hear an update on the Traffic Reduction Study and a NextGen Bus Speed Engineering Working Group Update, which is working on bus supportive infrastructure projects to speed up the bus system in support of the NextGen Bus Plan. Last but not least, all Councils will receive their quarterly report on their region’s key performance indicators, and updates on projects, programs, and events in their area.

There are two extra items at this month’s San Fernando meeting: an overview of the draft Recovery Task Force Plan in anticipation of the comment period closing on February 8, and the swearing in of new member Erin Nash.
