Can you please report back to Council in a timely fashion, with
the policy rationale for offering free transit on the days we currently do,
and what criteria we might utilize to assess what other days might make good
policy sense to implement free transit in Ottawa.

Can staff provide to Council Rideau Transit Group (RTG)/City maintenance reports related to door issues prior to the
launch of LRT.

With respect to yesterday’s train disruption, in lay terms, was anything
physical "broken" when the passenger held the door open? That is,
was the door's continued inability to operate when technicians went to fix it
the result of a mechanical failure, or was it a programming issue?
Is the affected train operating now? If so, what was done to fix
it? If not, what issues specifically are being addressed with it to fix it?

Council adjourned
the meeting at 11:52 am.
