Fort Collins
Air Quality Advisory Board
BOARD RESOLUTION TO CITY COUNCIL
DATE:
November 9, 2006
SUBJECT:
Transportation cuts (dial-a-ride) and transportation policy
Dear Mayor and members of City Council,
At our October meeting, the Fort Collins Air Quality Advisory Board passed a unanimous recommendation to
Council as follows:
The AQAB recommends transportation planning based on an all inclusive
mobility management strategy* to yield a comprehensive approach for fee assessment
and reduction in taxpayer burdens.
Recognizing that the proposed Transportation Management Fee does not
fully address the needs of the entire community, future plans and related
fees must:
•
•
•
•
Assess the impact on meeting policy goals to improve air quality
Recognize the transportation needs of the entire community
Address the availability and impacts of fossil fuels
Include actions for enhanced public transit
Over the next year, as the AQAB continues to assess mobility management
strategies and implications on air quality, we will provide specific
action items for council consideration.
Thank you for your consideration of this advisory resolution. I would be happy to answer any questions or
convey your comments to the Board.
Sincerely,
Eric Levine,
Board Chair
