Discussion Notes:
- Spring ridership increased 18% compared with the same period last year, with the highest growth near commuter rail stations and university districts.
- Several outer-neighborhood stations are seeing frequent empty-dock conditions during weekday mornings, especially along the East River corridor.
- GreenWheel reported improved e-bike uptime after adding two overnight battery swap crews, though weekend rebalancing remains inconsistent.
- Public Health emphasized the need to prioritize access in lower-income neighborhoods where car ownership rates are below the regional average.
- IT Services confirmed that transit pass integration is technically on track, but customer support scripts and refund handling still need approval.
- Business Council members are interested in subsidized memberships for employees but requested clearer reporting on usage and commute impact.

Decisions:
- Approve Phase 2 expansion planning for 42 new stations, focused on the East River corridor, South Brookhaven, and Northlake Transit Center.
- Proceed with a September 2026 pilot for bike-share access through regional transit passes.
- Add weekend rebalancing coverage at the six highest-demand transfer stations beginning August 1.
- Create a standard employer partnership package with membership pricing, reporting options, and launch support.
