Santa Cruz County Transit and Transportation Agency Meetings - Audio Tracks

Keith Bontrager

Attending these meetings in person is very time consuming. They are long and there is often quite a bit of administrative business done. Not many people have the time to do it. And, even if you do, it is not a very efficient use of time.But the meetings are important. They are the best way to keep track of what the agencies are up to. These podcasts make access to that content very simple and efficient.I edit the podcasts to break the meetings into short, topical episodes. You can listen to the

This is a short summary of Value Engineering Report.I had to convert some tables of alternatives, costs and strategies to text, which worked out OK. The bot mangled a few things on the text to voice conversion but nothing too critical.The full agenda is here:https://www.sccrtc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-10-03-RTC-agenda-packet.pdf

This is a short summary of Value Engineering Report. It's an experiment actually. I cut and pasted the entire text of the report into ChatGPT including the tables (which get trashed when pasted into the dialog box) to see what would happen. The bot actually reconstructed the information in the tables reasonably well.Anyway, the full summary episode is more reliable.
