Re:
Reduction in Transit Service Improvements
WHEREAS information has been provided on service improvements that
could be deferred resulting in a saving of $500,000; and
WHEREAS the RCMP services can be deferred until later in 2009 than
originally anticipated since the RCMP is moving into their offices later than
they had previously indicated; and
WHEREAS the service from the Park and Ride can be deferred as staff
have indicated that the Leitrim and Chapel Hill lots will not be completed
until the end of 2009; and
WHEREAS service improvements to other routes can be implemented at any
time;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the operating budget for OC Transpo
