Communication No. 2014-53 <br /> PCDP Mass Transit Subcommittee minutes,July 22, 2014 <br /> In attendance: June Conant, Jon Olson, Rusty Jones, Sharon Daun, Stephanie Bath <br /> Guest: Catherine Ford <br /> With the PREP Fair fast approaching,the MTSC has been requested to provide 2 display boards to focus on <br /> where we are in regards to mass transit issues. They will include a timeline of the work to date, the non <br /> responsiveness,the steps taken, and current routes with times that it takes to get places. One will highlight <br /> the communications which have occurred during the past 8 years regarding hub and spoke and airport transit. <br /> The other one will focus on hub and spoke as to where we are and where we are going. Also,the committee is <br /> interested in a simple survey to have in the mapping room. <br /> Jon brought a printout as to how to make a FOIA request for a copy of FHWA response communications issued <br /> to the Environmental Justice Complaint by Bonnie Goodell in 1988. He asked all of us to request a copy. Once <br /> we have the document in hand, page 3 of 6 outlines the non-compliance issues in regards to mass transit on <br /> this island and we can use this document as reference in future communications. <br /> Steph will work on the communication display board using Hannah's historical compilation that she gave us <br /> last month. The history, including the development of the Community Development Plans and the Puna <br /> Regional Circulation Plan will be noted. Also shown will be what has been adopted by ordinance and not <br /> implemented. She knows a person who can take all our input and make a very presentable display. <br /> June will work on hub and spoke. The second board will focus on hub and spoke/airport with what we are <br /> seeking to be implemented. It was decided to use Figure 4 on Page 12 of the Mobility working papers in the <br /> back of the Resource Binder as the main focus. The "map" showing proposed transit hubs, park-and-ride lots <br /> and paratransit service areas needs to be enlarged. She will also work on a simple survey in a spreadsheet <br /> format that has all the Puna locations listed. A question regarding the disabled should be included. <br /> Sharon talked about Survey Monkey. She has access to it and thought it might be useful. For the PREP Fair, <br /> she proposed a sample letter which participants can sign and/or a petition in order to get actions started. She <br /> will start composing these items. <br /> The next committee meeting will be Tuesday,August 26 at 3:30 pm. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> June Conant <br />
