4:47 With no other nominations, I will take a motion for a vote. And I request a second to the motion. >> Second. >> Okay. All those in favor of Julie Donovan as vice chair -- oh, did we have to have open -- does anybody have any discussion items they'd like to state? Okay. All those in favor of Julie as the vice chair for the 26-27 term? Everybody say -- please say yay. >> Yay. >> Yay. And all those not in favor of Julie Donovan as the vice chair for the 26-27 term, please say nay. Hearing no nays, Julie is also -- has been voted in to be the vice chair for the 26-27 term. Congratulations, Julie and Mike.

5:46 Okay. So we will now move to the next item on our agenda, the general public comment. We request that any comments made are completed within three minutes. To accommodate time for all speakers, we also request that before you make your comment, you state your name on the record. Are there any guests in the room that would like to make a comment? >> I will make a comment. >> Okay. >> Alright. I'm Fred Munnhoven, and I have handicapped people on my cul-de-sac. And really, I'm speaking for them and a few of my older friends. I saw this in our messenger that comes to seniors, and I shared it with them.

6:43 And what's coming and what's here is a bunch of seniors that are going to not be able to drive and don't know how to do it, how to access the same system. So I went online, tried to access the system. It's a mess. For older people to push all the right buttons, very difficult. So that would be my best offer forward to help the community is make accessibility easier online. Thank you all for your time. Thank you. >> Thank you very much for your comment. Fred? >> What? >> Was it Fred? >> Yes. >> Thank you very much for your comment.

7:35 We actually just had a presentation from Adam Fiss from, I can't remember the organization, from RTC talking about a survey that they have been doing with senior citizens and actually all people who use public transportation. And today, we actually have people from C-TRAN in the room. So maybe you'll gather some information or get a chance to speak with them. Thank you for coming. We appreciate it. Okay. So staff, Susan, for online guests, can you please provide instructions on how to make online public comments, please? >> We do not have any online guests today. >> We have nobody online? >> That's right. >> Okay. Thank you. So we can move on. So this concludes the general public comment portion of this meeting.

8:35 Next, we move on to our moderated discussion that is going to focus on mobility. I am going to hand this over. So we have a trio of guests from C-TRAN. Today, we have Veronica Marti, Taylor Eit, and Jay Hausgaard. And our discussion will be moderated by commission member Julie Donovan. So I'm going to hand the discussion over to Julie. >> Thank you all for being here. So this year, we have been talking about housing and transportation. And this month is talking about public transportation and what's available and how to access it and all the challenges and things we might not know about. So I would first like to read your bios, if you don't mind. All right. Taylor Eit is the director of planning and service delivery with C-TRAN,
