Following a public hearing, the Commission adopted the 2025 Unmet Transit and Paratransit Needs List. Unmet transit and paratransit needs are those transportation needs which are not being met by the current public transit system, have community support, and do not duplicate
transit services provided publicly or privately. The Commission solicited input from the public and worked with the RTC’s Elderly and Disabled Transportation Advisory Committee (E&D TAC), Santa Cruz METRO, Lift Line-Community Bridges, the Volunteer Center and other local organizations to identify unmet transit needs of transit-dependent or disadvantaged persons. The RTC, Santa Cruz METRO and other community transportation service providers will consider unmet paratransit and transit needs from the list as funding becomes available.

From the publisher's feed
Attending these meetings in person is very time consuming. They are long and there is often quite a bit of administrative business done. Not many people have the time to do it. And, even if you do,…
But the meetings are important. They are the best way to keep track of what the agencies are up to. These podcasts make access to that content very simple and efficient.
I edit the podcasts to break the meetings into short, topical episodes. You can listen to the episodes that cover topics that matter to you. The cool thing about doing that with a podcast is that you can listen whenever and wherever you can.
The podcasts are made from community tv.org 's video feed of the meetings. Thanks go to them for providing those. You can see the full videos on their website.
I've started adding some episodes that cover the supporting documents for the meetings. Those can be very useful. I am using text to audio conversions to convert them to an audio format.
I'm not editing the content of the podcasts. It is extracted directly from the video of the meetings. I am editing out the agency's administrative business, and I am not including public comments. Both of those are available in the original video.
There are some presentations that depend on a Power point presentation or slides. I make videos of those and post them on YouTube.
