Some <br /> 38 people think there will be an increase in funding for transit in rural areas but we just do not <br /> 39 know. <br /> 40 <br /> 41 Travis Myren then described the County's efforts to provide resilience to the public <br /> 42 transportation system. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 The Board then had a general discussion prompted by the agenda questions: (1) what <br /> 45 significant forces of change other than those presented by staff do you anticipate in the context <br /> 46 of public transportation, (2) what other likely consequences of those forces are you concerned <br /> 47 about, and (3) how else to think about resilience in this context? <br /> 48 <br /> 7 <br />
