## Agenda

3. Confirm maintenance and rebalancing priorities
4. Review funding timeline and grant requirements
5. Identify community outreach needs before launch

## Discussion Notes

Q2 ridership increased 18% compared with the same period last year, with the strongest growth at transit-adjacent stations and university-area docks. Weekend recreational trips also increased along the river trail corridor.

GreenCycle reported that e-bike availability remains inconsistent during weekday peaks, especially between 7:00 AM and 9:30 AM. Rebalancing crews are currently prioritizing downtown stations, but demand has shifted toward outer neighborhood hubs.

The group reviewed three possible expansion corridors: Northline Transit Center to Brookside, East Market to Riverside Park, and the university district to Southgate. The Northline corridor scored highest due to transit connections, equity targets, and available right-of-way.

County Planning noted that grant documentation must include station-level equity analysis, projected emissions reduction, and letters of support from participating municipalities.

Community representatives emphasized the need for multilingual signage, low-income membership outreach, and helmet access partnerships before new stations open.

## Decisions

- Prioritize the Northline Transit Center to Brookside corridor for the next expansion phase.
- Add 14 stations and approximately 120 bikes, including at least 40 e-bikes, in the first deployment.
- Adjust weekday rebalancing schedules to cover outer neighborhood stations before the morning peak.
- Use a single regional membership structure across all participating municipalities.
- Include multilingual station instructions in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

## Action Items

- Marcus Reed will provide updated curb-space and right-of-way maps for the Northline corridor by July 24.
- Priya Nair will draft the equity and emissions sections for the grant application by August 1.
- Sam Whitaker will submit revised rebalancing schedules and staffing needs by July 22.
- Camille Brooks will coordinate community listening sessions in Brookside and Northline by mid-August.
- Jordan Ellis will confirm university cost-share participation for Southgate connector planning by July 31.
- Elena Torres will gather letters of support from business district partners by August 5.
- Rafael Kim will review proposed park-adjacent station locations for permitting constraints by July 29.
