Estella Hollander- Staff Liaison from NAIPTA updated the commission on mountain line go:
Ridership update, it was a slow start since November boarding has has increased. In January the riders were at 131, in February 147, and in the first few weeks there were 158 riders. We want to continue to increase that, we have people with first trips and overall increase there. Average wait time is under 20 minutes and we want to keep that going strong, so riders don’t have to wait too long. Commingled is fairly low, this service is paired up with the Para transit program, when a Para transit and mountain line share rides, but we want to continue to work on this, on time pickup range is between 92-100%. Booking a trip on the app has decrease a little, but the more we get the word out the more people will use it. Average customer review is at 100%.
We are going to the flagstaff shelters services, and food kitchen in Sunnyside to get the word out, we presented this information for our board last month and they are happy about the program and want to see it continue. We are reviewing the budget to see if this is feasible to continue. In addition we are also installing Fare boxes, currently its two separate programs, but we are working on make it one, so that more people can use it.
Chair Person Jamie Martinez- asked, do you still need help with the satisfaction survey?
Estella, said yes they do.
Vice Chair Russell Randall, thanked her for sharing, do we know when the board will decided on whether the program is ongoing?
Estella stated, we have a meeting in April I think I should know in April it we get to.
Vice Chair Russell stated, can we mention that in our April meeting? can we send a letter of support to keep the program growing?
Estella, said definitely it would help if we get it before June, because a letter would help with the support, if we can get in April or May that would be great.
Alan Keay stated, we can put that on the agenda in April to have it ready to go.
Estella said thank you, you can send it to me, and I will forward it to the board.

We have had a few different presenters with the northern Arizona, Community of practice meetings, we have another meeting today, from the last two Estella was a presenter, and Jeremy Musgrove with the Supporters inclusive practices in college, 5 years program used by individuals with disability to guide them through college it is geared for 18 to 26 years old that’s kind of the target audience, so he went over benefits of the program. Their current partners are NAU and CCC, Kingman and they are looking to expand in YUMA.
At our last meeting, we had a presenter from the Arizona Disability Law, Linda Fisher, there is a team of advocates with this group and she was speaking on different categories where they have funding to assist individuals with disabilities.
She mentioned some of the issues: which are pay reviews, a text 911 system for the deaf, VR in relationships to customer services, due to discrimination in the work place, she also mention that they are looking into whether to VR can help with more assistance for college education and the minimum wage.
She brought up a case where company had discrimination case against them where they made the disabled people issues public. The two individuals were deaf and hard of hearing, so the judge issued that the company have the individuals star in a advertising commercial for that company, showing that the company was inclusive and diversified. I do have contact information if anyone wants to get more information. They are available during certain hours and have local people as advocates also.

Comprehensive Planning team presentation on Flagstaff Regional Plan by Jordan Hollinger, Associate Planner, Comprehensive Planning, City of Flagstaff
Jordon Hollinger stated, that Mark will give the presentation and at the end we will do a SWOT analysis with the commissioners, using a white board and brainstorm, Jordan explained how everyone was to use the whiteboard.
Mark Reavis: So we are doing the regional plan update for 2045, we are going to talk about what a regional plan is, what is specific about the regional plan and how that includes CIAL. I have designed accessibility solutions and have a personal connection with it through my uncle.
Regional plan is based on a pyramid, regional being on the top with specific plans for neighborhoods, parks, recreations, utilities, and RTP are next, and then finally implementation which includes CIP, zoning codes, housing, and engineering standards and annual budgets.
It includes the city and county and must be ratified by the voters every 10 years; it supports land use and decisions policy making. The 100-year water supply designation and transportation plus many other efforts, it is an amendment to the county comprehensive plan, and as adopted by the board of supervisors as a major amendment and provides a map of the area and place types that is further refined by area plans.
What does the public want from the regional plan? It wants to hold the government accountable for publicly derived policy’s outcome and goals, guide physical and economic development, establish priorities for the public action, direction for complementary private decisions, and to encourage predicable decision making.
Overview of current plan: it has 97 goals and 508 policies.
The commissions goals, are to expand educational opportunities, improve access to housing buildings and transportation.

Public buildings, provides accessible public facilities and services in strategic locations, in addition neighborhoods, housing and urban conversation policy states that it addresses accessibility issues and other housing barriers to persons with disabilities or special needs.
