Currently the Federal Government is conducting their Triennial Review  
which takes place every 3 years. This is a federal government oversight  
process, particularly used by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), to  
examine the performance and compliance of grantees of federal funding  
programs. These reviews, conducted roughly every three years, assess  
whether recipients are meeting statutory and administrative requirements.  
The reviews cover various aspects of the grantee's operations, including  
financial management, procurement, and adherence to regulations like the  
Americans with Disabilities Act and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. The FTA  
provides resources, including workshops, training materials, and procedural  
guides, to assist grantees in preparing for the review.

7. PRESENTATION  
ID 25-600  
Microtransit Services - Presentation by  
ADA Coordinator Joe Hinojosa  
ADA Coordinator Joe Hinojosa spoke about Microtransit Services.  
Microtransit is a technology-enabled, shared transportation service that  
uses dynamically generated routes and on-demand scheduling based on  
real-time passenger demand. It falls between traditional fixed-route public  
transportation and ridesharing services, offering flexibility and efficiency.  
Microtransit allows passengers to request rides using an app or other digital  
platform, and the service dynamically adjusts routes and schedules to  
accommodate the demand. Microtransit services can be used for first/last  
mile connections to public transit, providing transportation to and from  
stations or other hubs. They can also be used to connect residential areas to  
downtown or commercial areas, or to provide transportation to specific  
destinations within a designated service area.  
Microtransit is becoming increasingly popular in California, with many  
transit agencies implementing or expanding these services. Agencies are  
also exploring ways to integrate microtransit with other modes of  
transportation, such as paratransit and fixed-route buses. Some cities are  
also launching microtransit programs using electric vehicles to promote  
sustainability.  
There was great discussion among the committee regarding the possibilities  
for microtransit services in the City of Fresno.  
Upon call 1 public comment was received.  
8. ADJOURNMENT

Advisory Commission - Transportation Subcommittee during the December
