Customer service center. We need to establish this is in fact a senior so we can give them the right card and pass. And then the new clipper card will be sent to that customer in the mail with a litter stating this is their free pass and how to use that pass on a daily basis. For the rtc card for the riders with disabilities those with existing rtc cards the process will be similar to the senior cards.

There. One of the issues talks about the proposal thats already in place regarding youth fares and the sunday parking changes and according to the editorial all these programs combined will reduce munis operating revenue by about 20 million a year at a time when ridership is at an all time high. It also refers to voter approved propositions a and b which authorized additional spending for muni but that spending is limited to capital improvements. The concern raised is ridership continues, but the operating budget will be reduced because of lost revenue and therefore there will be longer waiting times for buses, crowded buses and great inconveniences.
