after much discussion and negotiation with the General

of San Bernardino.
B) That current hours of service not be reduced.
C) That Sunday service shall be continued.
D) That the 7500

E) That any fare increase not amount to a fare beyond
$.75.
F) That no reduction be made in the number of vehicles
for service in the City of San Bernardino.
'"
G) That the new program will not deny service to
accompanying companion passengers to the elderly or
handicapped. Handicapped companion to travel free of chargel

H) That Omnitrans

marketing support program for the
program.
I) That Omnitrans staff develop, as soon as possible, a
demonstrated demand-response component to take care of the
non-elderly/handicapped but transit dependent and poverty
income level riders within the community for consideration by
the Omnitrans Board and City Council at the same established
fee.
J) That if the fare box ratio is not appropriately
maintained pursuant to the state law, by the implementation
