Planning Principles
Initial reduction in service (Apr 2020) in response to declines in
1 ridership, revenues, and staffing levels

Service adjustments informed by weekly ridership and load analysis,

2 Operator/BOC report, social media reports, economic indicators

Continue to track Safer at Home orders and Reopening Phases to

3 anticipate ridership changes

4 Build back system based on principles established through NextGen

Nimble to easily adjust to changing trends in travel demand &

5 economic recovery, and resources (revenues and staffing levels )
