program to all transit properties. The theme for the campaign is "Save Your Energy". Manager Lemke presented
the DVD portion of the campaign which demonstrates the benefits of using public transportation. Other materials
provided in the campaign are radio and TV commercials, Cinema ads, and print ads. Transit properties will have
the opportunity to obtain the marketing materials using their local logos etc. There will be no cost to the transit
property for the materials.

Manager Lemke presented the, How to Ride the "City
Bus", video that was recently produced. The video was produced locally and will be available in the very near
future for distribution.

The Student Government Association will be taking
the Late Night Bus Service to referendum prior to winter break. If the referendum passes Manager Lemke will work
with the students, City P.D., and university officials to begin discussions on service details. Security cameras
would need to be installed on all city buses if the late night service is implemented and the local share cost
of the cameras would be split with the university.

to assess the performance of each transit system in the state receiving aid under the state operating assistance
