March 14, 2024: Staff developing by-laws for future regional transit authority; Council agrees to staff recommendations on alternative fuels pilot
For many years, the Comprehensive Plans of both Albemarle and Charlottesville have called for additional density to be located in walkable communities where public transit is a viable option for getting around without a car. But how well are the various systems working to meet that goal? A direct answer may not be available In today’s edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement, but this one does catch up on a variety of meetings held at a time when there’s a lot of talk about creating a Regional Transit Authority. I’m Sean Tubbs, still watching the wheels go round and round.
On today’s show:
* The Regional Transit Partnership directs staff to prepare the by-laws for a potential transit authority
* Charlottesville City Council agrees to a pilot project where Charlottesville Area Transit buys two battery-electric vehicles now and agrees to have staff research the potential purchase of two hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in 2027
* The interim CEO of Jaunt responds to comments made by a representative of the transit union
