Ms. Oliver would research this information and provide it to the Council. <br /> <br />Mayor Santos commented that the Alameda County Transportation Improvement <br />Authority (ACTIA) has experienced a $9 million decrease in revenues. <br /> <br />Councilmember Starosciak expressed concern that charging a fee for the use of the <br />shuttle would discourage ridership. She suggested that the Council discuss continuing <br />the service without changes through the end of the fiscal year, at which time the City <br />could consider a different business model for the program. <br /> <br />In response to questions from the Council, Ms. Oliver reported on the use of paratransit <br />gap grants, noting that these funds can only be used for pilot projects. <br /> <br />The Council discussed the timeline for submitting the application and for addressing the <br />funding shortfall.
