REGULAR MEETING <br />MAY 12, 2003 <br />Motor Bus service began and charged an 8 cent fare, with the electric streetcars being totally retired <br />from service on June 15, 1940; and <br />Whereas, in 1967 the South Bend Public Transportation Corporation was formally <br />established and maintained the 30 cent fare which was first established in 1964; and <br />Whereas, in 1998 TRANSPO's South Street Station transfer center opened as an integral part <br />of a planned intermodal network designed to better serve transportation needs and that same year <br />BOLT, the Battery Operated Local Transit shuttle began service in the city; and <br />Whereas, in 2002 TRANSPO introduced bike racks and on April 28, 2003, TRANSPO <br />received a $5.4 million federal grant for the replacement of the 23 flexible diesel buses so that the <br />total fleet of 52 buses may operate more efficiently as they operate 17 routes while transporting over <br />2.5 million passengers annually. <br />Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, <br />as follows: <br />Section I. On behalf of all the citizens of the City of South Bend, Indiana, the Common <br />Council hereby publicly recognizes National Transportation Week and commends TRANSPO for <br />the many fine quality services it provides to our community. <br />Section II. In addition to providing quality transportation service with a fleet which includes <br />improved accessibility for persons with disabilities and cleaner- burning engines, TRANSPO is a true <br />partner with the City of South Bend, and has often provided transportation for individuals who are <br />displaced from their homes due to fires; transported the Chamber Leadership Program members, <br />transported many of the South Bend Firefighters for fire department funerals; and transports obese <br />medical patients with paramedics in their specialized buses —with these being just some of the many <br />exceptional services provided by TRANSPO. <br />Section III. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption by <br />the Common Council and approval by the Mayor. <br />s /James Aranowski, First District <br />s /Roland Kelly, Third District <br />s /Karl King, Fourth District <br />s /Dr. David Varner, Fifth District <br />ATTEST: <br />s /Loretta J.
