Ms. Ayala reminded middle school parents that in July they would be receiving <br />li'om PUSD a "free pass" for five weeks for all middle school students in Pleasanton. <br />This is a pilot program and both the City of Dublin and the City of Livermore are <br />watching to see what kind of results the City of Pleasanton has. She encouraged the <br />parents involved to see if this program works for your student and to give it a try. The <br />passes will be valid lbr a week before school starts so that the students can get used to it <br />and suggested perhaps the parents can take a ride on the bus line with the student and get <br />them acclimated. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis said that the parent volunteers have really made this program. Staff <br />has done a wonderful job of working with the schools and she would encourage people <br />who have elementary and middle school students to volunteer lbr this program. <br />Volunteers are really what makes this program work and it is an excellent way to serve <br />your school. She asked if the documents in the staff report could be put onto the City's <br />website for people to download? For people who have questions, this would be m~ easy <br />way Ibr them to see what has been done thus far and then be able to come to the traffic <br />committee better informed and knowing how to contact the people at their particular <br />school. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti expressed her thanks to Ms. Bonaram for all of her hard work. <br />Ms. Bonanno is a motivator and has worked so well with this group of volunteers and this <br />program is being expanded. The City is looking into expanding the idea of walking <br />pools, etc., to the LAVTA system where perhaps parents would accompany groups of <br />student to the bus as well. This is being investigated and the LAVTA representatives are <br />pushing hard for this. There is a lot going on to help with the traffic situation. <br /> <br /> Ms. Acosta noted that the City has worked with PtJSD for a number of years to <br />help the traffic circulation problems with the schools. We wcrc minimally efl~ctive, but <br />now the volunteers arc involved. This program could not succeed without their <br />participation. <br /> <br />There were no public speakers on this item. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Michelotti, seconded by Ms. Ayala, to approve the <br />School Traffic Calming Program. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as filllows: <br /> <br />AYES: <br />NOES: <br />ABSENT: <br />ABSTAiN: <br /> <br />Councilrnembers Ayala.
