“Thank you, Chair. Thank you all for being here. Thank you for this update. It's hard to believe it's been three months already. Seems like you all are just here. A couple of questions. First one has to do with ridership growth. I noticed on the slide that talked about the percent of growth in ridership. I didn't see anything for Northeast Nashville and Madison. So just wondering, were you just highlighting those that had a lot of growth or was there any ridership growth, particularly for Route 56? Yeah, I think that's the one. Yep, that's it.”

“And I imagine, you can correct me if I'm wrong, that your decisions on the expenditures or the projects that you're doing are probably based somewhat on ridership growth. I noticed in another slide when you talked about sidewalks and signals, Dickerson Pike wasn't included in that. Are there any updates or are there any plans? I know Dickerson Pike Route 23 is also one of the higher ridership routes. We don't have sidewalks, so it's really dangerous along Dickerson Road a lot of times for riders. I'm wondering if you have any updates on any sidewalks or signals for that transit corridor.”

“So you're correct. So you're tackling the, not smaller projects, but the easier projects to get to first. Is that what I'm hearing? Yeah.”

“Okay, and finally, the advisory committee You mentioned the Community Advisory Board. Is that the same as the Advisory Committee on Transportation that we nominated members? I just want to clarify that. No, that is a different body.”

“But the advisory committee that we nominated, those members are involved in some kind of way.”

“I appreciate the responses to the questions. I would just ask if maybe in the next update, we get a little bit more information about that Northeast Route 56, Route 23. I have a lot of constituents in those areas that are very excited and anxious to see some improvements in that area. Thank you.”
