“Let’s see how we do, we’ll be post pandemic, hopefully, let’s see what ridership looks like, what the economy looks like,” Advisory Board member Gary Rosen said. “On January 1st, I will be still advocating (for fare-free service), some won’t be, that’s fine. I think it’s an excellent compromise.”
Rosen urged other zero-fare advocates on the board to support the compromise. The motion to extend fare-free service passed with all board members in favor and board Chairman William Lehtola abstaining.
