� .+ M <br /> BACKGROUND: continued <br /> The proposed "youth fare" of 60� would apply to anvone a�e � ' <br /> through 1 S,plus anyone with a valid hi�h school ID. The y <br /> restrictions that had been placed on the student fare would be <br /> eliminated. The�-outh fare would be accepted everyday, at any <br /> time, for any trip purpose. The proposed change would have no <br /> noticeable effect on Transit revenues, since fares would increase <br /> for those a�e 5 through 11, but would effectively decrease for those <br /> 12 through 18 by making the current student discount fare apply to <br /> all trips, not just trips to and from school on school days. <br /> This change would simplify the fare structure, making it easier for <br /> the assenQers an�d for the bus drivers. B eliminatinQ the student <br /> P b Y b <br /> fare restrictions,young passengers may be encouraged to ride the <br /> bus for more than just trips to school. It is hoped that this will <br /> generate more ridership. <br /> Two public hearuags were held, notices were published, posted, <br /> and fa�ced to the�ws media, and notices were mailed to 30 local <br /> schools. The attached hearing minutes show that public comments <br /> received were all in favor of the proposed change. <br /> Staff proposes to make this change effective on May 1 st, to allow <br /> ample time for everyone to learn of this change. <br />
