Scheduling Of Dakota County Board Of Commissioners Transit Workshops
end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Schedule County Board workshops to discuss public transit in Dakota County and provide direction on goals and County roles related to transit.
SUMMARY
At the September 17, 2024 Physical Development Committee of the Whole, staff provided the County Board with background information about transit in the County including existing services and modes, ridership changes since COVID-19, transit funding, and various roles the County has played related to transit. The discussion identified additional areas of interest and data needs for a more detailed and strategic discussion of the County’s role in transit moving forward.
One or more County Board workshops is recommended to continue the discussion with adequate time to present the requested data, hear directly from transit providers, and discuss strategic priorities.
Staff recommends the workshops occur on October 29, 2024 and November 12, 2024.
