limited staffing/drivers at this time which contributes to the maximum number of daily
trips that the agency can provide, however, new drivers are being hired it is simply
taking time to reach full staffing again. It was reported that the 3p.m., time frame was
the most utilized followed by the 9a.m., during the month of June for fixed route
ridership, and the most utilized route was the blue line followed by the yellow line.

of the connectivity to the servers.
• As previously mentioned the driver employment situation is improving and once the
agency has employed six additional drivers the agency will have achieved adequate
staffing.
