that have the least activity may see reduced routes Statistically, seventy-five percent of riders will see no changes, seventeen percent will see more frequent service, four percent will have less frequent service, and one to four percent of riders may have to choose a different route, which could be up to half a mile from their current access location The objective is to match capacity with demand Mr Hewett continued by explaining a program of city funding opportunities with up to ninety percent of funds coming from OCTA OCTA has been providing opportunity for public comments on the
