Whereas,
the City of Hastings has operated a local dial-a-ride transit service since the

Whereas,
this program has been funded through local share, fares, and local and state
grant funding agreements with both the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the
Metropolitan Council; and

the Metropolitan Council will be discontinuing its local grant agreement with
the City of Hastings for the TRAC effective on or about May 31, 2010 to implement their Transit
Link regional dial-a-ride program; and
Whereas,

and/or circulator route in 2010 that will complement the Transit Link program; and
