BOX 6050 -Aûstin, TX 78702 -(512) 478-RIDE -FAX (512) 478-1110 <br /> <br />February 13, 1997 <br /> <br />Laura Huffman, Assistant City Manager <br />City of San Marcos <br />630 E Hopkins <br />San Marcos, TX 78666 <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Huffman: <br /> <br />I am pleased to provide you with the enclosed report on the activities of the San Marcos Transit <br />(SMT) system. This is our first full year annual report to the Council on SMT and I think that <br />you will agree that it has been a productive one with the Chance Heritage streetcars going into <br />service, the installation of the permanent passenger shelters, the initiation of the ADA <br />complementary paratransit service (SMT Express), and the debut of the Capital Loop <br />Commuter. We feel that we have made substantial progress on our objective to build a <br />comprehensiv.e public transportation network for San Marcos. . <br /> <br /> <br />This is not to say that we are there yet. In the upcoming year we will begin planning an <br />intermodal facility to serve as a central terminal for all passenger transportation services in the <br />city, from SNIT and our Community Transit operations, to ANfTRAK, Greyhound, and planned <br />commuter rail operations. More travel training will be introduced to assist senior citizens in <br />reaching an increased comfort level with the system and to promote that group's usage of public <br />transportation. On March 1st we will consolidate the management of the Community Transit <br />service under CARTS and activate computer assisted scheduling. A review will then begin to <br />improve the coordination of paratransit services in the city. <br /> <br />We enjoy the partnership with the city in promoting improved mobility in San Marcos and wish <br />to continue building on this relationship in the future. I look forward to seeing you on the 24th <br />to answer any questions you might have on our activities in your city or the information <br />contained in this report. <br /> <br /> <br />serving the counties of Bastrop, Blanco, Burnet, Caldwell, Fayette, Hays, Lee, Travis & Williamson with community-based regional transportation services. <br />
