Based on the number cf calls (average of 51.2 calls per Sunday during a
five-hour period), the positive feedback from the public, and the previous
public hearings regarding unmet transit needs, staff recommends that the City
continue to meet transportation needs by proceeding with set Dial -A -Ride
service on Sundays with limited hours of 12:00 noon - 5:00 p.m.
