Hello all, A very quiick and basic explanation of my action: There is nothing in the plan passed last night to mitigate the impact of the fare increase on low-income individuals. Without that, I don't believe it's an acceptable or reasonable compromise at all. Additionally, there is no guarantee or even intention outlined in the plan passed last night to implement a low-income fare program. So the way I see it, the fares were increased by a lesser but still significant amount versus the original $2 proposal with absolutely no relief to low-income workers. And should the fares increase again in future years, there is no plan in place to mitigate the long term impact on low-income residents. We had what I strongly believe to be a good plan that would have helped low-income Metro riders now and in the future. Had it been part of what TPC passed last night, I would not be asking the for an appeal of the decision.
