Officials only, in order.
I, I join, I’m sure, the entire board in commending Metro staff and our Games Mobility executive partners for successfully securing $90 million through the Federal Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026. As you indicated, it’s an important down payment preparing for our transportation network for 2028 Olympics and Paralympics Games and reflects the strong collaboration among our regional partners.Jacquelyn Dupont-Walker · Chair8:42

How we count
Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 98 of 100 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
