STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE:
Goal - Convenient and Reliable Service
Initiative - Service Quality
The primary function of the June Sign-up is to suspend Supplementary School service from the network in order to operate more efficiently and better use the District's limited resources during the summer.

Lines 1T, 800, 802, 805, 840 and 851 will detour off Broadway between T. L. Berkley Way (20th St.) and 14th St. The 1T Tempo will now terminate at 14th...
