The system works as follows: Bikes are locked into docks at stations throughout the city. Stations have varying amounts of docks, depending on the expected volume of customers based on their location. Through purchase of either a day- or year-pass, a user can rent a bike out of any bike dock, at any station. The bike can be ridden anywhere without a limit on distance. Bikes in use can be returned to any station. Users only incur extra fees if they have a bike rented for more than 30 minutes. As such, users can ride indefinitely at no extra charge so long as they make quick stops every half hour at a nearby station.

In addition to any basic requirements for state licensure, clinicians conducting evaluations for these cases must also have additional training in forensics, as well as CEU’s in this specialty.

Kamel made a comment about the proposal to raise fares on Metrobus, Metrorail and MetroAccess. She stated that if Metro is not able to maintain ridership, raising the prices will make ridership decline. Additionally, customers will find alternate forms of transportation and may not return to Metro. She suggested that Metro explore other avenues of revenue such as advertising, adopt a Metrobus or Metrorail station. These approaches may not be fast money makers; yet it would provide some revenue and keep the community involved with the Metro system. The CFO stated that Metro is doing all those things but unfortunately it is not enough to close the shortfall. He suggested that if customers have ideas that would help Metro close the budget gap to send the suggestions to the
