SUBJECT: Proclamation – Designate the Week of May 15 – 21, 2022, as National Transportation Week MEETING DATE: May 10, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
With the consent of the City Council, the Mayor will proclaim the week of May 15 – 21, 2022, as National Transportation Week.
ANALYSIS:
The week of May 15 – 21, 2022, is recognized annually as National Transportation Week (NTW). NTW provides an opportunity for all of us to join together for greater awareness and appreciation of the transportation industry. It is also a time when we celebrate the community of transportation professionals who keep our country on the move. The City of Commerce bus operators, mechanics, service workers, dispatchers, and other support personnel have demonstrated their dedication, professionalism, and courage throughout the pandemic by providing a safe, reliable and healthy environment for essential workers and those needing to take essential trips. Every measure taken regarding day-to-day operations has been in lockstep with guidance from local, state, and federal health officials.
I encourage everyone to take a moment and thank all transit workers for their hard work and dedication.
ALTERNATIVES:
Approve recommendation.
Reject staff recommendation.
Provide staff with further direction.
FISCAL IMPACT:
In honor of NTW, staff shall celebrate each day of the workweek with a unique theme, with the crescendo being a BBQ truck lunch.
This activity may be carried out without additional impact on the current operating budget and can be paid out of the transportation account 57-8331-60010. The total cost shall not exceed $2,900.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC GOALS:
This Agenda item relates to the 2016 Strategic Plan – Guiding Principle #2: "Foster a positive environment that continuously seeks to improve service and organizational responsiveness to internal and external customers," as this action provides an opportunity for the City to join together for greater awareness and appreciation of the transportation industry.
