On a suggestion from a reader I’m trying to simplify my recommendations (I don’t see them as demands, and would rather avoid that kind of language). He suggested that three categories seemed relevant:
1 – Rider Input
- ● ROC daily blog
● Bulletin board
● Full-time Ombudsman
2 – Transparency
- ● Readily available, searchable statistics on budget and labor
● Open inquiry into abuses
● Full and direct public participation in fare negotiations
3 – Fair Funding from the Commonwealth
- ● Real funding options for the T
● Viable debt payment
● Increased commitment to public transit
Thanks for the suggestions. I think they’re great.
Anyone have any more?
