TO: AC Transit Board of Directors
FROM: Michael A. Hursh, General Manager
SUBJECT: Draft FY 2020-2024 Capital Improvement Plan
BRIEFING ITEM
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Title
Consider receiving an update on the draft FY 2019-20 through FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).

The District Capital funds either function as match for grant funds or fully fund projects that are not eligible for grant funds but are priorities for the District.

Staff began by reviewing all existing projects on the cur...
