Title
Final Adoption of the Transit Development Plan for FY 2008 (B)
This item involves a request that the City Commission adopt the RTS Transit Development Plan as submitted to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) on August 31, 2007.

The City Commission acts as the governing board for public transit in the Gainesville urban area.

Recommendation
The City Commission adopt the TDP for FY2008-2012.
